Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Witting is a bioanalytical chemist and metabolomics specialist with over 15 years of domain experience and 11 years in professional roles, currently serving as Privatdozent at TUM and Deputy Head of Metabolomics and Proteomics Core at Helmholtz Munich. He designs and executes end-to-end metabolomics studies—from study design and sample preparation across species to measurement, data processing, metabolite identification and biological interpretation—bridging methodological rigor with applied biological insight. Known for coordinating international collaborations, he combines leadership and hands-on lab expertise to scale core facility operations and mentor researchers. His background spans advanced academic training (Dr. rer. nat., Chemie) and practical teaching as a freelance lecturer, reflecting both deep technical mastery and a commitment to knowledge transfer. Less obvious: he has repeatedly translated core facility capabilities into broader research impact by integrating proteomics and metabolomics workflows to interrogate metabolism in health and disease.
