The 4th Annual Canadian Metabolomics Conference (CanMetCon) was held at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake on June 15th–16th. This year’s conference was set to be an exciting and in-depth look on current topics in metabolomics and exposomics – focusing specifically on advancing the understanding of exposures in Medicine, Agriculture/Food/Cannabis, Environment/Industrial Settings, and Clinical Applications.
See you next year in Vancouver
