Description:
The Analytical Core for Metabolomics and Nutrition (ACMaN) is located on the first floor of the Varity Building. In service since 2016, ACMaN allows researchers to analyze and track biological compounds, such as nutrients, as they’re processed in the human body. Using this technology, researchers are able to track how these small molecules change during the course of a disease or treatment to better understand the disease itself and to develop new diagnostic tools and therapies. ACMaN plays an integral role in research on metabolic diseases, hormones, and the effects of nutrition on childhood development. The ACMaN Core provides key research and analytical support to several research groups. This facility operates on a fee-for-service basis, which allows for partial cost recovery for operating expenses and service contracts for the instruments. A portion of the facility operating and instrumentation costs are provided through financial support from the BC Children's Hospital Research Institute and Foundation, University of British Columbia and Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) awards to contributing investigators.
