Martin Zehl

Martin Zehl is a Researcher in the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry. His work focuses on microbiology, secondary metabolite research, and antimicrobial agents, particularly involving Streptomyces species and their applications in pharmacology. He contributed to the Plantpeptidomics research project (2010–2013) and has organized events like the 34^th MassSpec Forum Vienna (2024). Notably, he received the Madaus Preis in 2014 for his research contributions.

His research explores the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites from environmental and medicinal plants, with emphasis on combating drug-resistant bacteria and parasitic diseases. Collaborations span international institutions, leveraging mass spectrometry for analytical insights. His activities include presenting on topics like Antarctic bacterial bioactives and organizing conferences to advance mass spectrometry applications.
