Welcome!

​Womxn in Metabolomics (WomiX) was established to promote the professional development and engagement of womxn in Metabolomics through creating a sense of community and providing opportunities for networking and mentorship. WomiX is committed to the advancement of womxn in Metabolomics.
Using “womxn” with an “x” in order to explicitly welcome trans women, transfeminine, genderfluid, and nonbinary participants. 
All MANA members and allies are welcome to our community!  
Who we are
We are a team of womxn dedicated to promote collaboration between researchers in the field of metabolomics. Our committee includes early-career and experienced scientists across North America. This interest group of the Metabolomics Association of North America (MANA) is chaired by Arpana Vaniya. We had our first workshop as part of the Early Career Forum during the 1st annual MANA conference, November 15-17, 2019 and a second (online) meeting during MANA 2020, September 15, 2020.
What we do  
The WomiX group provides members with resources to improve networking and engagement with other womxn metabolomics researchers. We organize events, host a mentorship program and have a dedicated email list and Slack channel to provide information to members. 
How can you participate?
Please sign up to join our email list and/or Slack channel to receive information about upcoming events and WomiX activities. More information about our mentorship program can be found here.

Meet the womxn who organize Womix Events and are here to support other womxn in metabolomics!

The Metabolomics Association of North America (MANA)

With members in Canada, Mexico, and the USA, the Metabolomics Association of North America values cooperation, coordination, and the advancement of the field. As of May 2018, MANA is an International Affiliate of the Metabolomics Society, with shared goals and missions in advancing metabolomics. Both organizations have their own membership, organizational structures, budgets, and event schedules.
The mission of MANA is to promote the growth and development of the field of metabolomics (broadly defined as the systems-scale study of biochemical intermediates in biological systems), particularly on the continent of North America; to provide the opportunity for association among North American researchers in metabolomics sciences and in related fields, including connections between academia and industry; to provide opportunities for presentation of research achievements and for workshops; to promote the publication of meritorious research in the field; and to carry on any other activity to benefit the better understanding of metabolism in microbes, plants, animals and humans.
