Justyna Rechthaler

Dr. Justyna Rechthaler is a Research Associate at the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt, specifically based at the Biotech Campus Tulln. She specializes in Chromatography & Mass Spectrometry and contributes to the Master's Program in Bio Data Science.

Her research focuses on proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics applications across multiple domains. Dr. Rechthaler leads and contributes to several significant research projects including CIM (Tumor stroma analysis using nano LC-MS/MS), Myko-Ten (investigating mealworms for mycotoxin degradation), and OMICS 4.0 (bioinformatics in life science research). Her work combines advanced analytical techniques with computational approaches to address complex biological questions.

Analysis of her recent publications (2022-2024) reveals a strong focus on optimizing protein identification in proteomics, particularly for insect models, with emphasis on sample preparation techniques and data processing methodologies. She also publishes extensively on metabolomics approaches for studying plant-pathogen interactions and novel microbial species with pharmaceutical potential.

Her scientific contributions demonstrate expertise in:

• Nano LC-MS/MS methodologies
• Proteomics and metabolomics data analysis
• Mycotoxin research and food safety
• Cancer diagnostics and tumor microenvironment analysis
• Interdisciplinary bioinformatics approaches

Dr. Rechthaler maintains active research collaborations, particularly with the University of Applied Sciences IMC Krems on cancer diagnostics projects that combine Raman microscopy with artificial intelligence. Her work bridges analytical chemistry, bioinformatics, and practical applications in healthcare and food safety.

Her laboratory, known as Ra-Dia_M, focuses on advanced analytical techniques for biological research, particularly in the areas of proteomics and metabolomics, supporting multiple research projects across different scientific domains.
