Dirk-Jan Reijngoud

Dirk-Jan Reijngoud is Emeritus Professor of Inborn Variation of Metabolism at the University Medical Center Groningen. His research examines metabolic disorders using advanced metabolomics approaches.

Research interests include inborn errors of metabolism, mitochondrial function, and microbiome-host metabolic interactions, with emphasis on developing tracer-based analytical methods for studying metabolic fluxes in vivo.

Recent work explores lipid transfer mechanisms in hepatic β-oxidation (2025), intestinal processing of prebiotics (2024), and fatty acid oxidation kinetics. This research integrates computational modeling with experimental biochemistry.

Professor Reijngoud has supervised numerous PhD candidates and secured multiple grants including NWO projects on systems medicine and energy metabolism.
