About this Event
The Scottish Metabolomics Network will host its 10th annual meeting on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th November 2025 at the John McIntyre Conference Centre (JMCC) at the University of Edinburgh. We aim to continue our tradition of fostering collaboration and innovation across Scotland’s metabolomics community.
The two-day symposium will bring together researchers from across Scotland’s universities and research institutes. Attendance is expected to reflect the network’s commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion, with broad representation from students, early career researchers, group leaders, technical staff, and industry partners.
This year’s plenary speaker is Professor Caroline Johnson, whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of metabolomic signatures in colon cancer and exposures. Her talk will explore the translational potential of metabolomics in precision medicine.
The keynote address will be delivered by Dr Joy Edwards-Hicks, known for her pioneering work in how age-related metabolic changes impact lymphocyte signalling and function. Her presentation will highlight recent advances in biomarker discovery and the integration of metabolomics with clinical diagnostics.
The symposium will feature:
- A dedicated Early Career Researcher (ECR) session
- Talks spanning clinical metabolism, plant and animal metabolomics, and translational applications
- Poster presentations and awards for outstanding contributions
Building on the success of previous years, the meeting will also feature a Symposium dinner on Tuesday 25th November at South Hall, Pollock Hall Campus, University of Edinburgh.
The event will conclude with a celebration of the network’s achievements and a look ahead to future initiatives in Scottish metabolomics.
