A clinical metabolomics center affiliated to China Pharmaceutical University opened in Nanjing, Jiangsu province on Oct 19, providing the public with convenient and cost-effective methods for disease diagnosis and treatment. 

The center was “powered up” by a team of 11 experts from renowned domestic medical institutes, such as the Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Jiangsu Province Hospital, and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. 

The experts took advantage of metabolic profiling, a series of blood tests that could be ordered to watch the body function of certain types for people with diseases or to evaluate the blood to determine health issues.
