prof.dr. RD (Robert) Hall

I am Deputy Business Unit Manager Bioscience and Professor of Plant Metabolomics at Wageningen University, Laboratory of Plant Physiology. For the last 20 years my research activities have been centred around the development and application of metabolomics technology for plants, with particular emphasis on crop species. We use metabolomics approaches to gain a better understanding of the biochemical composition of plant materials and to ascertain how this is influenced by genotype and environment. We work on both fresh plant materials (regarding e.g. whole plant development, fruit ripening, seed maturation, plant-pathogen interactions etc) as well as processed plant (food) materials (e.g. fruit juices, tomato paste, roasted coffee beans, tea etc). We have established an extensive plant metabolomics platform comprising 8 LC and GC Mass Spectrometers supported by all required in silico tools for data management, processing and statistical analysis and (our in house) metabolite databases.
