Lipidomics and integrative multi-omics methods are emerging rapidly. In this chapter, we highlight the role that lipidomics data can play in multi-omics studies. We exemplify how lipidomics data have contributed to insights in recent multi-omics studies. We describe specific considerations on the experimental methods and give an overview of relevant integrative computational analysis approaches. The experimental design must be adapted to the multi-omics context, and data analysis challenges must be considered. Finally, we summarize the great potential of lipidomics data in multi-omics and suggest ways in which the knowledge from such multimodal analysis sets can be further increased.
PMIScience.com is operated by Philip Morris International for the purpose of publishing and disseminating scientific information about Philip Morris International’s efforts to develop and assess products that have the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm associated with tobacco use. This site is for use by scientists, the public health and regulatory communities, and other stakeholders with an interest in tobacco policy.

Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
