Pratik D Jagtap

Pratik D Jagtap serves as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics at the University of Minnesota. He has been instrumental in managing the Galaxy-P project since its inception and currently holds the position of Research Professional 6 with focus areas in Metabolic and Systems Biology (TMED), Genetics, and Mechanisms of Cancer.

Dr. Jagtap's research focuses on developing analytical workflows for complex data analysis, with particular emphasis on MS-based proteomics applications in metaproteomics, proteogenomics, and data-independent acquisition (DIA) data analysis. His work spans multiple interdisciplinary fields including bioinformatics, microbiome research, and cancer biology. The fingerprint analysis of his research shows strong expertise in Proteomics (100%), Metatranscriptomics (96%), Mass Spectrometry (80%), Galaxies (70%), Microbiome (52%), Proteogenomics (50%), and Bioinformatics (46%).

His publication record shows consistent productivity with research outputs spanning from 1998 to 2025, with significant activity in recent years (6 publications in 2025, 6 in 2024, and 7 in 2023). His work demonstrates a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated multi-omic analyses applied to complex biological systems, particularly focusing on host-microbiome interactions in disease contexts.

Dr. Jagtap has received recognition as Chair of the Proteomics Research Group at the Association of Biomolecular Research Facilities from August 2018 to July 2020, highlighting his standing in the proteomics community.

His current research portfolio includes multiple active projects funded by NIH, National Jewish Health, and the American Society for Microbiology, with several projects extending through 2025 and beyond, including an NIH-funded project on deep metaproteomic characterization of microbial contributors to tumorigenesis running through 2028. He collaborates extensively with researchers like Timothy J. Griffin and others across various institutions.

Dr. Jagtap's work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in areas related to health and well-being, reflecting the broader impact of his research on global challenges.
