代谢组学已经成熟，预计 2014 年至 2019 年复合年增长率为 30%，到 2019 年市场价值将达到 21 亿美元（Rohan 2014）。虽然最近的进展是由分析仪器和软件的技术进步以及一些国家的封闭研究经费推动的，但对支持这种增长所需的专业培训的关注不够。国际代谢组学协会的成立是为了促进该领域的发展（Goodacre 2005），促进学术界、政府和工业界科学家之间的合作，并举办会议和培训研讨会。 ELIXIR-UK (http://elixiruk.org/) 是欧洲 ELIXIR 基础设施内的英国节点，目前专注于提供生物信息学培训，将在专门中心通过面对面课程和电子学习提供；该培训将与其他欧洲 ELIXIR 节点合作。为了指导制定（并最终提供）适合目的的培训，考虑到科学内容、参加者的专业水平、课程知识水平以及提供培训的机制等因素，国际代谢组学协会和 ELIXIR-UK 联合对代谢组学科学的培训需求进行了全球评估。具体来说，我们制定并广泛分发了一份调查问卷，以确定我们国际社会的培训需求、现有的培训计划、要开发的新课程内容以及提供培训的机制。 “代谢组学科学”包括基础科学和技术（实验设计、分析测量、计算分析和信息学）以及从微生物到植物和动物（包括人类）的任何应用领域。在这里，我们报告培训需求调查问卷的结果，从中我们得出了一系列关键建议来支持不断发展的代谢组学界的培训。通过分享完整的结果，我们希望其他人能够进行额外的分析，并能够得出进一步有趣的结论，并共同帮助指导全球代谢组学培训项目的发展。
Metabolomics has come of age and is predicted to have a compound annual growth rate of 30% from 2014 to 2019 and a market value of $2.1 billion by 2019 (Rohan 2014). While recent progress has been driven by technological advances in both analytical instrumentation and software, and by the availability of ring-fenced research funding in some countries, insufficient attention has focused on developing the specialist training required to support this growth. The international Metabolomics Society was established to promote the growth of this field (Goodacre 2005), to stimulate collaboration among scientists in academia, government and industry, and to deliver conferences and training workshops. ELIXIR-UK (http://elixiruk. org/) is the United Kingdom node within the European ELIXIR infrastructure and currently focuses on bioinformatics training provision that will be delivered in specialised centres, through face-to-face courses and e-learning; this training will be in partnership with other European ELIXIR Nodes. To guide the development (and ultimately provision) of fit-for-purpose training, considering factors such as scientific content, expertise levels of attendees, knowledge level of course, and mechanisms by which to provide the training, the international Metabolomics Society and ELIXIR-UK have jointly conducted a global assessment of the training needs in metabolomics science. Specifically, a questionnaire was developed and widely distributed to determine the training needs of our international community, the training programs that already exist, the new course content to develop and the mechanisms by which this training could be delivered. By ‘‘metabolomics science’’, we include the underpinning science and technology (experimental design, analytical measurements, computational analyses and informatics) and any field of application from microbes to plants and animals, including humans. Here we report the results of the training needs questionnaire, from which we have derived a series of key recommendations to support the training of the growing metabolomics community. By sharing the full results, we hope that others will conduct additional analyses and be able to derive further interesting conclusions, and collectively help to guide the development of metabolomics training programs globally.
