Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Stanstrup is an Assistant Professor and metabolomics researcher with 12 years of experience applying LC-MS, data processing, and statistical analysis to understand nutritional effects on human plasma. He developed and published an integrated pipeline for computer-assisted compound identification, emphasizing underused retention time information and building tools for adduct/fragment annotation, in silico fragmentation, and retention time mapping. His Villum-funded postdoc produced PredRet, a practical system to translate retention times across chromatography platforms, bridging analytical chemistry and computational workflows. Based in Copenhagen, he combines hands-on mass spectrometry expertise with software development—maintaining code and projects now consolidated on GitLab—and a strong track record of teaching and supervising students. Notably, his work reframes retention time from a secondary metric into a powerful identification tool, improving confidence in metabolite annotation across labs.
