Klaus Dreisewerd

Prof. Klaus Dreisewerd is a Professor at the University of Münster's Institute of Hygiene, leading the Biomedical Mass Spectrometry research group. His work focuses on MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), method development, and applications in biomedical research. Key projects include post-ionization techniques (MALDI-2, t-MALDI-2) for high-resolution tissue analysis, microbial biofilm studies, and glycoconjugate characterization. He collaborates with industry and academia to advance imaging approaches for cancer, infection, and neurodegenerative diseases.
