Benedikt Warth
Associate Professor
Faculty of Chemistry
Dr. Benedikt Warth is an Associate Professor at the University of Vienna, where he founded the ‘Global Exposomics and Biomonitoring Laboratory’ in 2017.
Before returning to Austria, he was an Erwin-Schrödinger fellow at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California where he developed and applied novel metabolomics technology to research questions in the fields of systems toxicology, cancer research, and exposure science.
His current research focus is in the area of omics-scale exposure assessment and analytical food chemistry to better understand the in vivo and in vitro effects of environmental and food contaminants. He has received nine scientific awards including the Young Investigators Award and the Feigl-Prize from the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry.
Dr. Warth is interested in chemical exposures that might contribute to child health and development and the resulting biological/toxicological effects which he investigates at the systems-level.
