Research match: Direct core match. MANA is the North American metabolomics society (members from Canada, Mexico, USA) and Wishart is a MANA member; MANA is an International Affiliate of the Metabolomics Society. Conference scope covers NMR- and MS-based metabolomics, computational metabolomics/software and data exchange, precision medicine, microbiome, and metabolomics service cores — matching Wishart's NMR metabolomics (MagMet, Chenomx), database/tool work (HMDB, MiMeDB, CFM-ID), and precision-medicine interests. MANA runs a dedicated NMR & Metabolomics Cores Interest Group and a Software and Data Exchange Interest Group.
