Workshop Description
The Spatial Metabolomics Workshop brought together world leaders in spatial and mass spectrometry imaging-based metabolomics from plant sciences and beyond to help realize the development of a comprehensive PCA metabolome. This workshop helped with the PCA’s overall goal by bringing together a community which comprehensively described plant cell types by integrating high-resolution subcellular and cellular location information of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. In line with achieving this goal, metabolomics itself provides a functional readout of the cellular and molecular programs controlled through expression of genes and proteins, as metabolites are directly linked to cellular function, response to environmental stresses, and progression to disease. Significant advances in mass spectrometry imaging and spatially resolved mass spectrometry technologies now make high-spatial resolution metabolomics notably more accessible for plant science. Moreover, new multiomics methods, including spatially resolved approaches, enable the ability to directly connect transcriptional and proteomic signatures with metabolic activity.
The Spatial Metabolomics workshop featured six expert speakers from around the world in two sessions (morning and afternoon). 338 people registered for this event with just under 300 people attending between the two sessions. Attendees tuned in from 29 countries and over 50% were early career researchers (ECRs).
This workshop was organized by The Metabolomics Committee Lead Chris Anderton (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) and Metabolomics Committee Member Aleksandra Skirycz (Michigan State University).
