Christoph Steinbeck is the Team Leader, Cheminformatics and metabolism. He completed his PhD Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelm-Universität, Bonn, 1995.Postdoc at Tufts University, Boston, 1996-1997. Group leader, Max Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology, Jena, 1997-2002. Group leader, Cologne University 2002-2007. Lecturer in Cheminformatics, University of Tübingen, 2007. At EMBL-EBI since 2008.
The Cheminformatics and metabolism team, led by Dr Christoph Steinbeck, provides the biomedical community with information on metabolism: small molecules and their interplay with biological systems. We develop and maintain MetaboLights, a metabolomics reference database and study data repository; ChEBI, EMBL-EBI’s database and ontology of chemical entities of biological interest. We also develop the biochemical reaction database Rhea jointly with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. In support of our mission to create a comprehensively document the metabolomes of organisms and how they change with fluctuations in the exposome, we started and coordinate the European FP7 project COSMOS for the Coordination of Standards in Metabolomics.
