Peter Horvatovich's Biography

Peter Horvatovich, Assistant Professor, University of Groningen

Peter Horvatovich is a well-established researcher in the interdisciplinary field of analytical chemistry, proteomics and proteomics related bioinformatics. He obtained PhD degree in food analytical chemistry by developing trace analysis methods for detection of irradiated food in 2001 in France at the University of Strasbourg. He gains industrial experience at Sanofi-Aventis in Hungary supporting drug discovery with chemometrics methods and molecular modeling. During the last 9 years his research focused mainly on quantitative aspects of LC-MS data with application in biomarker discovery. His research covers the various topics of quantitative data processing of LC-MS such as development of novel time alignment strategies and quality control for complex LC-MS data, comparison and assessment of LC-MS data processing workflows and statistical methods for selection of discriminatory compounds panel, assessment of LC-MS profiling platforms and contributed in several biomarker discovery and sample stability studies such as influence of clotting time on serum stability, identification of biomarkers to detect probiotic property of Lactobacillus plantarum, studied the stability of cerebrospinal fluid under various conditions and identified protein markers in rat modeling the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
