  • Description: <jats:p>Metabolomics is a fast-developing technique used in biomedical researches focusing on pathological mechanism illustration or novel biomarker development for diseases. The ability of simultaneously quantifying thousands of metabolites in samples makes metabolomics a promising technique in predictive or personalized medicine-oriented researches and applications. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is the most widely employed analytical strategy for metabolomics. In this current mini-review, we provide a brief update on the recent developments and novel applications of LC-MS based metabolomics in the predictive and personalized medicine sector, such as early diagnosis, molecular phenotyping or prognostic evaluation. COVID-19 related metabolomic studies are also summarized. We also discuss the prospects of metabolomics in precision medicine-oriented researches, as well as critical issues that need to be addressed when employing metabolomic strategy in clinical applications.</jats:p>
