معرفی
Professor Markus Fischer is a prominent academic at the University of Hamburg, leading roles as Spokesperson for Research Field A: 'Artefact Profiling' within the Cluster of Excellence 'Understanding Written Artefacts' (UWA), Head of the Container Lab, and Director of the Hamburg School of Food Science. His primary affiliations include the Department of Chemistry under the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, and the Institute of Food Chemistry.
His research focuses on food authentication using advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry and spectroscopy, as well as panomics approaches for written artifact analysis. Key projects include mobile container laboratories for global use and paleogenomic studies of artifacts. He also investigates metabolic pathways in food systems and marine biology, particularly hypoxia tolerance in pinnipeds.
Prof. Fischer’s publications span food safety, material analysis, and biomolecular studies, with over 266 papers. He collaborates on initiatives like the Palm-Leaf Manuscript Profiling Initiative and has developed aptamers for analytical applications. His work integrates cutting-edge technologies to address challenges in food traceability, cultural heritage preservation, and environmental sustainability.
Equipment managed includes ICP mass spectrometers, LC-ESI-IMS-QTOF systems, and Orbitrap mass spectrometers, enabling high-resolution analyses. His contributions extend to academic leadership, including supervising research projects and organizing conferences like the DESY/UWA panel on written artefacts.
