We are delighted to announce the launch of our Metabolomics Society's 4th Annual International Conference which will be held on

September 2-6, 2008 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts

We have an exciting program planned and details can be found on-line at www.metabolomicssociety.org.Following on from the highly successful workshop programs from previous years, the meeting will commence with 1.5 days of workshops dedicated to MS, NMR, and data analysis methods starting on Tuesday September 2 and through September 3.  The main scientific program will begin on the evening of Wednesday September 3, 2008.
