Among his notable achievements are the development of METASPACE, an open-source big data cloud platform for spatial metabolomics, and SpaceM, a method for spatial single-cell metabolomics.

2、Giovanni D'Angelo

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland

Giovanni D’Angelo is an Assistant Professor and Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Chair on Metabolism in the School of Life Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). His main interest is understanding the meaning of compositional variability in cell membranes by studying the mechanisms by which the lipid composition is determined. His research combines advanced experimental techniques and computational approaches to unravel complex biological processes and generate insights with both fundamental and translational significance.

3、Tao Huan

University of British Columbia, Canada

Tao Huan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at University of British Columbia, Canada, specializing in metabolomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology. His work includes integration of metabolomics with other ‘omics’ (epigenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) data for the systems-level interrogation of biological problems, application of state-of-art metabolomics technologies in various biological challenges, and synergetic development of analytical and bioinformatic techniques to enhance metabolomic coverage and improve the confidence of metabolite identification.

4、Cholsoon Jang

University of California Irvine, United States

Cholsoon Jang is an Assistant Professor in the Biological Chemistry School of Medicine at University of California Irvine, United States. He is the director of High-End Metabolomics Core. His lab studies the causal relationship between nutrient metabolism by organ systems and gut microbiota and human diseases including cancers (breast, kidney, and liver cancer) and cardiometabolic diseases (obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart failure). He employs state-of-the-art analytical chemistry techniques using LC-MS-based metabolomics, lipidomics, and stable isotope tracing in disease animal models (mice, pigs) and human patients.

5、Christian M. Metallo

Salk Institute, United States

Christian M. Metallo is a Professor at Salk Institute, United States. Metallo’s work focuses on mapping these interconnected metabolic networks to uncover disease-causing pathways. Using tracer molecules and advanced mass spectroscopy techniques, his lab identifies how molecules are broken down and re-built, where metabolites end up in the body, and what regulates these processes. Taking this approach, Metallo has made key discoveries about the metabolic pathways that drive cancer progression and macular disease—pathways, which can then be influenced through dietary manipulations or targeted therapies.

6、Tomas Pluskal

Czech Academy of Sciences, Czech

Tomas Pluskal is a Principle Investigator at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences. His lab combines cutting-edge experimental (e.g., mass spectrometry, metabolomics, RNA-seq) and computational (e.g., bioinformatics, molecular networking, machine learning) approaches to develop rapid, generally applicable workflows for the discovery and utilization of bioactive molecules derived from plants. His research goal is to engineer novel, nature-inspired chemistry using sustainable biosynthetic tools. 

7、Xiaotao Shen

Nanyang Technological University Singapore, Singapore

Xiaotao Shen is a Nanyang Assistant Professor at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He also serves as the Director of the Singapore Phenome Center. His research focuses on the development of bioinformatics algorithms for multi-omics data analysis and their applications in precision medicine and biological questions, particularly aging and aging-related diseases. He has developed multiple computational methods for mass spectrometry-based omics and multi-omics data integration. He also developed a microsampling-based multi-omics platform for personal precision health monitoring and applied it to longitudinal personal health assessment.

8、Elizabeth Want

Imperial College London, United Kingdom

Elizabeth Want is an Associate Professor at Imperial College London. She is the head of the Section of Bioanalytical Chemistry in the Division of Systems Medicine, Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction. Her research aims to improve molecular assays for clinical studies, through the measurement of small molecules, lipids and proteins, ultimately leading to deeper understanding of diseases, improved healthcare and better patient outcomes. She focuses primarily on the development and application of novel mass spectrometry (MS) based techniques for metabolic phenotyping and on the fusion of mass spectrometric methods with chemometric analysis, which is currently a significant bottleneck in the analysis pipeline.
