Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to welcome you to the 4th International Electronic Conference on Metabolomics (IECM2025), an event set to bring together leading researchers, innovators, and practitioners in the rapidly evolving field of metabolomics. This returning conference builds on the resounding success of our first 3 conferences in 2016, 2017, and 2018 and promises to provide an exceptional platform for intellectual exchange, collaboration, and exploration of cutting-edge advancements.
Metabolomics offers unparalleled insight into metabolic homeostasis and dysfunction within biological systems since metabolites (the metabolome) often more directly reflects physiological status than genes (the genome) or proteins (the proteome). As an indispensable tool in systems biology, metabolomics enables both comprehensive profiling of the metabolome and precise characterisation of functional metabolites, driving innovation across diverse domains in science and medicine.
Organized and proudly sponsored by Metabolites (ISSN 2218-1989), a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in this field, this conference will feature six dynamic sessions exploring diverse aspects of metabolomics:

  • Clinical Metabolomics: Unlocking Insights for Endocrinological Disorders;
  • Pioneering Technological Frontiers in Metabolomics;
  • Breaking Barriers with Advanced Data Analysis in Metabolomics;
  • Precision Nutrition Meets Metabolomics: Transforming Human and Animal Health;
  • Metabolomics in Drug Discovery: Shaping the Future of Pharmacology;
  • Microbial Metabolites: Novel Pathways to Health and Therapeutics;

In addition, extended versions of your presented work (4–8 pages) may be published free of charge in the Biology and Life Science Forum, and participants presenting unpublished findings will have the opportunity to submit manuscripts for inclusion in a Special Issue of Journal Metabolites, with a significant discount on APC charges after peer review.

On behalf of the dynamic Metabolites editorial board and our dedicated editorial team, we warmly invite you to join us for this exciting event. Whether through presenting your latest research or engaging with the diverse community of metabolomics professionals, your participation will enrich the collective discourse and help shape the future of this vibrant field.
We look forward to welcoming you to this virtual conference and celebrating the incredible advancements in metabolomics together.
