Our Story

THE METABOLOMICS INNOVATION CENTRE - TMIC

The Metabolomics Innovation Centre (TMIC) is Canada’s national metabolomics core facility and technology development centre with facilities at the University of Alberta and at 3 other major research institutions in Canada (University of Victoria, McGill University, McMaster University). TMIC’s mandate is to provide researchers with world-class resources for metabolomics research, including testing facilities, experimental methods, bioinformatics tools, and scientific expertise. Housing over $30 million in state-of-the-art metabolomics tools and employing over 15 scientists, managers, and administrators, TMIC supports cutting-edge technology development and biomarker research programs. TMIC develops novel tools, methods, and technology to study the metabolome and measure changes that can provide insights into health or disease. TMIC has developed and maintained many widely used metabolomics data analysis tools, including 18 databases and 11 software tools. Since 2011, The Metabolomics Innovation Centre has analyzed over 56 000 samples and conducted over 87 000 metabolomic assays for a highly diverse client base of more than 600 labs and companies from across the world. The Metabolomics Innovation Centre is a joint initiative of Genome Canada, Genome Alberta, Genome British Columbia, the University of Alberta, and the University of Victoria.

A great two days at the 5th Annual Accelerating Clinical Trials (ACT) Meeting in Edmonton!

The TMIC team was pleased to exhibit on September 24–25 and connect with researchers, clinicians, biotechnology companies, and other leaders working to strengthen Canada’s clinical trial ecosystem.

It was a valuable opportunity to share how TMIC’s national metabolomics network can support clinical research through metabolomics, lipidomics, and exposomics, and to learn more about the exciting work happening across the Canadian clinical trials community.

Thank you to the ACT team and everyone who stopped by our booth to connect with us. We look forward to continuing these conversations and exploring opportunities to support clinical research across Canada!

Meet the speakers for MetaboTalks Episode 1!

Dr. David Wishart — Distinguished University Professor at the University of Alberta, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Metabolomics and Precision Medicine, and TMIC Co-founder — kicks things off with What's Next for Metabolomics?, a look at where the field is headed over the next decade.

Dr. Adriana Zardini Buzatto — Tier II Canada Research Chair in Lipidomics and Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary — follows with Tracing Environmental Exposures Through Lipidomics, exploring how lipidomics can catch the biological effects of environmental exposure before conventional toxicology testing does.

One session, two perspectives on where the field is going.
