Michael Zimmermann is a Group Leader at EMBL Heidelberg with a research focus on the human microbiome and microbial metabolism. His work investigates how gut microorganisms process dietary and host-derived compounds, and how these metabolic activities influence human physiology and health. By combining microbiology, metabolomics, and computational approaches, his group aims to uncover fundamental principles governing microbe–host interactions. In addition to his research role, Zimmermann is Head of the EMBL Metabolomics Core Facility, where he oversees the development and application of state-of-the-art metabolomics technologies in support of the broader scientific community.

Comprehensive GC–MS/MS Quantification of Gut Microbiota–Derived Metabolites Across Intestinal and Systemic Tissues

ByNikita Denisov,Michael Zimmermann,John Chasse

To enable robust investigation of microbiota–host metabolic interactions, a targeted gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated by a research group at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg, Germany) for the simultaneous quantification of 120 chemically diverse gut microbiota–derived metabolites across multiple biological matrices. LCGC International recently spoke to Nikita Denisov and Michael Zimmermann, two of the authors of a paper resulting from this work.
