Summary
Daniel Petras is an Assistant Professor and mass spectrometry expert with a decade of experience in proteomics, metabolomics, natural products and chemical ecology. He leads research translating advanced analytical chemistry into biological discovery, having progressed from PhD work in biochemistry through postdoctoral research at UC San Diego to a junior group leader role in Tübingen and his current faculty position at UC Riverside. His work bridges method development and biological application, reflected in a steady publication record and a functional metabolomics lab that emphasizes discovery-driven workflows. Based in Tübingen and internationally trained in Germany, Spain and the US, he combines deep analytical expertise with ecosystem-level thinking that uncovers ecological chemical interactions not obvious from sequences alone.
