Dr. Michael Witting studied Applied Chemistry with a functional direction into biochemistry at the Georg-Simon-Ohm University of Applied Science, Nuremberg, Germany and obtained his PhD in 2013 from the Technical University of Munich. He is a current member of the Metabolomics Society Board of Directors and since 1st of January he is heading the metabolomics section of the Metabolomics and Proteomics Core at the Helmholtz Zentrum München. His main research interests are LC-MS based metabolomics method development and application, as well as metabolite identification improvement by retention time prediction.
