Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhixu Ni is an Assistant Professor at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School and a mass-spectrometry–driven lipidomics software developer with 11 years of experience bridging analytical chemistry and computational tools. He leads development of widely used tools such as LPPtiger2, LipidHunter2, and LipidLynxX that automate LC-MS/MS lipid identification, in silico epilipidome prediction, and cross‑annotation for systems-level lipidome integration. Trained with a summa cum laude PhD from Leipzig University, Zhixu combines deep domain expertise in MS-based lipidomics with practical software engineering to produce interactive, reproducible outputs (notably six‑panel HTML reports) that accelerate PRM experiment design and data sharing. His work uniquely focuses on turning complex spectra interpretation into user-friendly, interoperable pipelines that support pathway and network analyses in health and disease.

SysMedOs/lipidhunter
Nov 2015 - Jan 2020
LipidHunter is capable to perform bottom up identification of lipids from LC-MS/MS and shotgun lipidomics data by resembling a workflow of manual spectra annotation. LipidHunter generates interactive HTML output with its unique six-panel-image, which provides an easy way to review, store, and share the identification results.
