Meet Michael Witting

Research
Developing analytical methods for the analysis of metabolites and lipids from single Caenorhabditis elegans (959 somatic cells). Such methods will enable me and other scientists to study the metabolic heterogeneity of an otherwise isogenic animal to learn more about metabolism and its regulation.

Advice
Learn from both your failure and your success. All great scientists started as students and had to learn how to play the game. Do it your way and be authentic in what you are doing.

Nominator comment:“Michael is a dynamic young scientist working at the cutting edge of metabolomics and lipidomics. He is developing new methods for the analysis of the C. elegans metabolome and lipidome, as well as working on new approaches to data analysis.”
