We mainly wrote this protocol regarding the drug metabolism studies but actually the methodology itself can be appiled to mutiple different domains relevant to biotransformation. For example, our lab is using this method for phenotyping biotransformation of xenobiotics by human symbiotic bacteria.

Super excited to introduce our recent work published in @natprot.nature.com today. Here we introduce a step-by-step protocol for applying multiple data analysis workflows in GNPS2 for drug metabolism studies.

It is always great to see students' achievement. Two PhD students in my lab, Kyungha and Yukyung, won the PhD student fellowship from the Ministry of Education of Korea. Each will be funded 50m KRW (about 36000USD) for 2 years. Congratulations!

I met David Beale working at CSiRO, Austrailia today at Korean Society for Mass Spec meeting today and let him know about this initiative. He has worked on experimental metabolomics for years so he would have many valuable data to contribute.

Interested in a co-authorship?
We’re building a tool for repository-scale untargeted #metabolomics and #exposomics of #environmental data. To make it the best it can be, we’re looking for people willing to share high-resolution LC-MS/MS (DDA) data from #water, #soil, #sediment, and related samples.

My lab is known as a mass spectromerryblab, but we (sometimes) do NMR metabolomics. In this article published in J Pharm Biomed Anal today, we evaluated the applicability of 1H NMR metabomics for quality control of East Asian Traditional Medicine formulation products.

Yesterday @roman-bushuiev.bsky.social visited our lab. He gave a seminar talk about his recent work on DreaMS (www.nature.com/articles/s41...), and provided a hands-on training to my lab members. Looking forward to what we will discover using this awesome tool!

I guess that it intended downloading the list and getting the information via API; but I am not sure.

We just crossed the 800,000 files mark in Pan-ReDU. That's 800,000 public #metabolomics raw data files with harmonized metadata that can be re-analyzed to learn about new molecules and bio-distributions. 🎉 redu.gnps2.org

Collaborating with Prof. Hangun Kim, we discovered that monoterpene indole alkaloids from Vietnamese plant Uncaria scandens inhibit cancer cell motility by suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition via integrin α4-mediated signaling.

There's been a rich connection between electron diffraction and the nature of the chemical bond over the years. Here, we've shown how you can leverage electron diffraction to discover and characterize novel natural products.
