Theodore Alexandrov is a team leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the head of the EMBL Metabolomics Core Facility, a faculty of the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit between EMBL and Heidelberg University, and a Principal Investigator at Bio Studio at the BioInnovation Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Alexandrov team at EMBL aims to reveal the secrets of metabolism in time and space in tissues and single cells by developing experimental and computational technologies, software, and resources. The work of Alexandrov team led to over 100 journal publications, multiple patents, and two startups in the field of spatial and single-cell -omics. Among key contributions are the development of METASPACE, a cloud open-source community platform for spatial metabolomics, and SpaceM, a method for spatial single-cell metabolomics.
