Welcome to the MetBioNet BMS Training Group
The MetBionet Stakeholder Laboratories initiated and encouraged the formation of the MetBionet BMS Training Group and was formed in November 2005. There was recognition of the lack of infrastructure in the training and workforce development for Biomedical Scientists in the field of Metabolic Biochemistry.
