This Research Topic aims to gather the proceedings of the “IV Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) Symposium”. Since the first Symposium in 2014 in Lima, Perú, the Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) has periodically gathered researchers from the region to share their work. Though the discipline is still underdeveloped in Latin America, past meetings held in Rosario, Argentina, in 2016, and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2018, have showcased presentations in all areas of metabolomics.After a hiatus of two years imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fourth edition of the LAMPS Symposium will be held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, this coming November (2nd - 4th). As in past editions, the high profile program of the Symposium will provide NMR spectroscopists and mass spectrometrists with a unique opportunity to present their latest results and give younger researchers a space to connect with other colleagues.By sharing new findings and discussing progress in metabolic profiling, this meeting will contribute to a deeper understanding of metabolomics research. To accompany the IV LAMPS Symposium, this Research Topic will not only be an opportunity for those presenting their research at the event to divulge full versions of their work, but will also receive contributions from other researchers in the field as well. While research in Latin America will be the primary focus, submissions that display the impact of metabolomics in all areas of health, nutrition, and agriculture will also be open to Latin American researchers elsewhere around the globe.
