If chemical cartography is a new term to you, you\u2019re likely not alone. In this episode Paolo talks with Dr. Laura-Isobel McCall about what chemical cartography is and how it\u2019s helping us start to better understand an organism\u2019s complex and location-dependent response to external stimuli such as simple chemicals as well a pathogens. The conversation touches Dr. McCall\u2019s fundamental LC-MS metabolomic work, its use and application through chemical cartography to understanding Chagas disease, and to the ethical concerns of using highly personal metabolomic fingerprinting data.
