Non-targeted analytical approach for chemical profiling of microbiomes in Health and Environments

Prof. Schmitt-Kopplin’s team performs tailored and comprehensive metabolomics in food, health and geosciences. He has a strong profile in analytical chemistry with integrated approaches combining ICR-FT-mass spectrometry, separation sciences, NMR-spectroscopy with (bio)informatics for the description of complex organic systems on a molecular level. One focus is on the chemical understanding of microbiomes in health and environments and integrating this information with existing biological, metaOmics data. He is Director of the research unit analytical BioGeoChemistry of the HelmholtzZentrum Muenchen, Germany and is a member of the Technische University Munich where he heads the Comprehensive Foodomics Platform of the Institute fo analytical Food Chemistry (with Prof. M. Rychlik).
