Find tools. Build context. Connect the workflow.
Tools answer a practical question: What can I use? Navigator brings together software, databases, spectral libraries, repositories, services and workflow platforms, with structured information about what they do, what data they accept, how they are accessed and where they fit.
Analytical Strategies answer a different question: How can I approach the problem? Strategies are deliberately selective. They represent published, transferable methodological ideas that add a distinct experimental, computational or data-integration layer beyond routine use of an existing tool.
The catalogue focuses on mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics. Inclusion is not endorsement, independent benchmarking or a performance ranking.
ASK NAVIGATOR · BETA
From catalogue to functional workflow guidance.
Ask Navigator is being developed to help researchers move from the data they have toward a coherent starting analysis plan. The planned interface will progressively show compatible options and explain why each analytical stage exists.
The current visual preview shows the workflow workspace. Recommendations will be enabled after tool population and relationship review.
It is not a substitute for experimental design, instrument expertise, statistical consultation or method validation.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND NAVIGATOR
Designed and implemented by
Scott A. Jarmusch
Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
Scott works in the Section for Microbial and Chemical Ecology at the Technical University of Denmark, with research spanning natural-product discovery, microbial chemical ecology and mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics.
Official profile ↗Alan K. Jarmusch
Director, Metabolite & MS Imaging Analyses, Mass Spectrometry Research Center, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH); Director, NIH Metabolomics Consortium.
Alan’s work spans untargeted metabolomics, mass spectrometry imaging, mass-spectrometry data processing, method development, drug metabolism, microbiome research and biomedical and environmental applications of mass spectrometry.
Official profile ↗Scott A. Jarmusch and Alan K. Jarmusch co-designed and implemented Metabolomics Navigator.
Open, reviewable and designed to evolve.
The catalogue is openly versioned on GitHub. Researchers can propose new resources, corrections and Analytical Strategies, and changes are reviewed before publication. Developer or author verification is recorded separately from editorial review and does not imply scientific endorsement.
Independent by design.
Institutional affiliations are provided for identification only. Metabolomics Navigator is an independent scientific resource and does not represent an official product or endorsement of the Technical University of Denmark, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Institutes of Health or the NIH Metabolomics Consortium.
The catalogue, workflow relationships and Ask Navigator functionality will continue to expand and be refined with community contributions.
