Overview

Elmar W. Weiler is affiliated with Ruhr University Bochum in Germany and conducts research primarily in the fields of Environmental Science, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Neuroscience. Their work spans several specialized subfields, including Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Molecular Biology, and Endocrine and Autonomic Systems.

The research topics prominently addressed by Weiler involve Water Treatment and Disinfection, Polyamine Metabolism and Applications, and the Neuroscience of respiration and sleep, indicating a multidisciplinary approach that bridges environmental and biological sciences.

Among recent scholarly contributions, Weiler coauthored the paper titled Quantitative Investigation of Nitrosamine Drug Substance-Related Impurities (NDSRIs) Under Artificial Gastric Conditions by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry and Structure-Activity Relationship Analysis, published in 2025 in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis. This publication reflects a focus on analytical chemistry techniques and toxicological assessment relevant to pharmaceutical impurities.

Weiler collaborates frequently with other researchers, including:

  • Matthias Vogel
  • Sylvia E. Escher
  • Anke Londenberg
  • Uwe Deppenmeier
  • Rhys Whomsley

Their work is disseminated through publication venues such as Drug Testing and Analysis, which features their research outputs. This venue aligns with their interests in chemical analysis and toxicology.
