International Metabolomics Society and The Metabolomics Innovation Centre launch a joint newsletter for the global metabolomics community
EDMONTON, Canada, and BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom – Sept. 26, 2013 – We are pleased to announce the re-launch of MetaboNews: a newsletter published in partnership between The Metabolomics Innovation Centre and the international Metabolomics Society, to include additional news, information, and advertising for the global metabolomics community. MetaboNews now represents the one-stop-shop for the very latest and most critical news about the science of metabolomics.
Since August 2011 The Metabolomics Innovation
Centre has published the newsletter, MetaboNews (http://www.metabonews.ca),
which keeps metabolomics researchers and other professionals
informed about new technologies, software, databases,
events, job postings, conferences, training opportunities,
interviews, publications, awards, and other newsworthy items
concerning metabolomics.
About The Metabolomics Society
The
Metabolomics Society is an international, non-profit
organization bringing together researchers from around the
world interested in and excited about the development and
application of metabolomics technologies across the full
breadth of biological and biomedical sciences. Metabolomics
is perhaps the youngest of the 'omics sciences in the
post-genomics era. It aims to investigate the roles and
functions of metabolites in biological, biochemical, and
physiological processes. The Metabolomics Society was
founded in 2004 and has since grown into a global community
with almost a thousand members. This growth has been driven
in part through the successes of its annual international
conference, the increasing impact of its journal Metabolomics
and its growing Individual and Corporate member benefits. To
support this ongoing growth and to keep its members
up-to-date with the latest news, publications, and events,
the Board of Directors has forged a new partnership with The
Metabolomics Innovation Centre, the publishers of
MetaboNews. For additional
