The Japan Society for Biomedical Research on Trace Elements decided to publish the new journal “Metallomics Research” from October, 2021, instead of their previous journal “Biomedical Research on Trace Elements”(BRTE). On this occasion, the history of trace element study in Japan and the progress of metallomics as integrated biometal science proposed about 20 years ago are reviewed. In the latter part of this review, basic concepts of metallomics research are discussed in relation to homeostasis and all-present theory, and finally it is considered that metallomics research has a mission to contribute to our humans and nature through the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), mainly with focusing on health science and environmental/green science as multidisciplinary science.
