Podcast: Using metabolomics to understand gestational diabetes

Combining sophisticated laboratory results with epidemiologic data analysis offers new insights into a hazardous condition of pregnancy

Metabolomics is a big word for a simple idea: using detailed lab results to seek clues about why people get a disease — in this case, gestational diabetes in pregnancy. In this KP Research Radio podcast, Jan Greene talks with Division of Research investigator Yeyi Zhu, PhD, and research fellow Rana Chehab, PhD, MPH, RD, about their use of metabolomics to predict who may get this hazardous condition of pregnancy, and why.
