معرفی
Dr. Jacob Folz is a Lecturer at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST) at ETH Zurich, specializing in toxicology and metabolomics research. His work focuses on understanding microbial biotransformation processes in the human gut, environmental chemical exposure impacts, and metabolome profiling under physiological conditions. He employs advanced analytical techniques like LC-MS/MS and physiologically based kinetic modeling to study metabolic pathways and their implications for human health.
Research interests include gut microbiota metabolism, toxicological assessments of environmental chemicals, and the development of novel methodologies for in vivo metabolite analysis. Dr. Folz has contributed to studies on herbicide metabolism, intestinal environment characterization, and metabolomic variations in aging and disease models. His interdisciplinary approach bridges analytical chemistry, systems biology, and clinical applications.
His publications highlight innovative sampling technologies (e.g., ingestible devices for microbiome studies) and computational models to predict systemic metabolite levels. Collaborations likely involve environmental health, pharmaceutical research, and biomedical engineering. No specific grants or awards are mentioned in the provided texts, but his work aligns with emerging fields in exposomics and personalized medicine.
Laboratory affiliations include the Professur für Toxikologie (Toxicology Professorship) at ETH Zurich, focusing on interdisciplinary toxicology research. Dr. Folz’s research has direct applications in drug development, environmental risk assessment, and understanding metabolic disorders linked to gut dysbiosis.
