The Centre for BioSystems Genomics (CBSG) and the Netherlands Metabolomics Centre (NMC) joined forces to organise the 6th International Metabolomics Congress in June, 2010 in Amsterdam
For the first time, all major players in the medical, microbial and plant research fields were brought together at a single meeting which was attended by approximately 700 scientists.
Prof. Leroy Hood, director of the USA Systems Biology Institute, gave the keynote lecture. Later he was interviewed by several Dutch media, like NRC Handelsblad, C2W, Bionieuws and Natuurwetenschap en Techniek. Hood concluded that The Netherlands are world leading in large scale metabolomics initiatives.
