Message from MANA President, Tom Metz | | |
|
|
The 5th Annual MANA conference - October 23-27, 2023 at the University of Missouri - is just 3 months away! Time flies, and it seems like it was not that long ago that we met in Edmonton for the 2022 conference. Be sure to register and submit your abstract in time for the oral abstract deadline of August 13. Full details on the plenary speaker lineup and the list of instructional workshops are up now.
It was fantastic to see both MANA and MetSoc colleagues at MetSoc 2023 in Niagara Falls. Congratulations to MANA Secretary and Board Member, Professor Dajana Vuckovic, and her co-chair Professor Philip Britz-McKibbin, on an excellent conference. Hopefully, you had an opportunity while there to attend the MANA Networking Reception and the WomiX + FeMS Mixer and enjoyed the time meeting other MANA members at those events. MANA looks forward to working with other Affiliates of the Metabolomics Society and the Society itself on some exciting future collaborative initiatives. Stay tuned for details!
Speaking of time flying, it seems not that long ago that I joined the MANA Board of Directors and then became President. The years of the pandemic were a blur, and today I realize that nearly 5 years have passed since I volunteered to help lead MANA. This is my penultimate President's message, and on December 31 I will cycle out of the President's chair and off the Board of Directors. It has been a fun ride!

News from the NMR Interest Group | |
Following our successful Workshop, Frontiers in NMR Metabolomics, at the Metabolomics 2022 in Valencia, we organized a sequel Workshop, Emergent Technologies in NMR Metabolomics, on June 18, at this year’s Metabolomics 2023. In the workshop, we further introduced NMR as a metabolomics tool with simplicity in sample preparation requirements, high reproducibility, and quantitative characteristics, gold standard identification capabilities with the ability to investigate a variety of physical and chemical properties, and the possibility for in vivo evaluations through metabolomics imaging. The topics of the Workshop included: 13C detection and >GHz NMR, Applying the known to the unknown: A long-term framework for metabolite ID, Machine Learning for NMR Metabolomics, NMR-Based Metabolomic Clinical Diagnostics, and Improving the coverage and quality of NMR metabolomics data. | |

Join Waters on Wednesday, September 06, for a SELECT SERIES MRT in Action seminar where we will give an overview and demonstration of the SELECT SERIES MRT for small molecule metabolite workflows such as metabolomics and drug metabolite identification.
During this demo, we will show you how the MRT’s mass resolution of 200,000 and sub-ppm mass accuracy for MS and MS/MS data can be maintained at the fast acquisition rates needed for integration with UPLC and how this aids metabolite identification. In addition, you will discover new acquisition modes which further enhance performance.
The session will conclude with a live Q&A where Isabel and other members of the team will be on hand to answer your questions. Register Here.
