The Mexican Proteomics Society (SMP) is Latin America’s oldest proteomics organization, driving innovation in proteomics, metabolomics, and mass spectrometry (MS) for over two decades. Through its biennial symposia and international workshops, the SMP fosters collaboration, education, and a nationwide network of MS laboratories—addressing critical gaps in scientific infrastructure. With a focus on building a skilled, diverse workforce and fostering inclusivity, the SMP is poised to shape Mexico’s future in omics research.

As Mexico welcomes its first scientist president, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the R+D environment is set to improve, offering new opportunities for the SMP to advance its mission: strengthening omics research, bridging infrastructure gaps, and positioning Mexico as a leader in LATAM science.
