The term metabolome was first used in a landmark paper in 1998 (LINK: https://doi.org/doi:10.1016/S0167-7799(98)01214-1) and has grown and emerged into a science that studies the biochemical processes that involve metabolism (REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolomics). Metabolomics is used in many diverse biological areas, involving both analytical sciences and informatics. Metabolomics is a constantly evolving field and is being developed and applied by scientists in academia, industry, regulation, as well as by stakeholders. Metabolomics is therefore a highly multidisciplinary subject and the Metabolomics Society welcomes people from all disciplines.
