Interest Groups
Early Career Members - ECM
Early Career Members are vital for MANA, defined to be within 10 years of their highest academic degree. The ECM has already organized multiple workshops during the 2018 Metabolomics Society conference and during the 1st annual MANA conference, November 15-17, 2019.
ECM members have received more than 25 travel awards in 2019 and 5 child care grants. At the annual conference, an ECM member receives a lecture award; the 2019 award winner was Caroline Johnson. The ECM group elected its first board of directors in Fall 2019, chaired by officers Kehau Hagiwara (chair), Yuanyuna Li (vice-chair), Candice Ulmer (administrative officer), and Brianna Garcia (financials). The ECM group currently has more than 150 members and will participate in many MANA events in 2020.

Microbiome
MANA’s Microbiome Task Group formed following a successful workshop at the 1st annual MANA meeting in 2019. It aims to facilitate microbiome-focused metabolomics research by providing general guidance on the gold standards in the field and by fostering new networking opportunities for our members across the multidisciplinary scientific communities. We would like to hear from you if you are interested in joining the MANA Microbiome Task Group to focus on and develop topics related to the application of metabolomics in microbiome research. This group is led by Maryam Goudarzi, Kehau Hagiwara, Ewy Mathe, and Robert A. Quinn.

NMR
The MANA NMR interest group is a collection of scientists with mutual interests in advancing and promoting the use of NMR in metabolomics inquiries. We seek to advance and promote the inclusion of NMR metabolomics in an xC-MS dominated world, educate and provide training resources in the application of NMR metabolomics to the broader community, solicit community involvement and contributions, advance functional NMR metabolomics with nontraditional workflows, and build community consensus concerning experimental and computational parameters that influence the quality of NMR based metabolomics, best-practices for metabolite identification and quantitation, and appropriate application of statistical tools to interrogate NMR and NMR-hybrid datasets. This group is being led by Art Edison, Robert Powers, Tracey Schock, and Lloyd Sumner.

Metabolomics Cores Interest Group
Metabolomics core facilities across North America (NA) play a pivotal role in promoting science and technology as well as community education. Currently, there are 92 metabolomics centers and cores in NA each with its exceptionally talented and multidisciplinary workforce. This interest group, led by Maryam Goudarzi and Kelly Paglia, was assembled to promote leadership and mentorship skills among our members, navigate common challenges and barriers faced amongst core groups, and facilitate communication for MANA core members.
