Arntzens’s research expertise is in proteomics, its technical concepts, computational developments and in its application to biological questions regarding human and animal sample material, microbes (bacteria and fungi) and mixed microbial communities. His experience in this field spans over 15 years.

Arntzens’s key publications to date have reported on the development of novel quantitative software for proteomics with accompanying enhanced chemical methods, proteomics data consolidation and meta-analysis and, more recently, on the secretomes of polysaccharide degrading bacteria and on characterizing novel, uncultured microbes and communities using integrated meta-omics (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics + bioinformatics).

Research interests:

* Microbial communities

* Integrated meta-omics (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics  and metaproteomics)

* Secretomics

* Enzyme characterization

* Biomass degradation

* Denitrification

* Bioinformatics and software development
