Hans-Ulrich Humpf is affiliated with the University of Münster in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work spans several subfields, notably Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Food Science, and Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis.

The primary focus of their research includes topics such as:

  • Mycotoxins in Agriculture and Food
  • Carcinogens and Genotoxicity Assessment
  • Plant and fungal interactions
  • Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
  • Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry Studies
  • Potato Plant Research
  • Analytical chemistry methods development

They have published papers in several frequently appearing scientific venues, with the highest number in Lebensmittelchemie, Archives of Toxicology, Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, and Mycotoxin Research.

Selected recent publications include:

  • Ion identity molecular networking for mass spectrometry-based metabolomics in the GNPS environment, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Toxicity of fluoride: critical evaluation of evidence for human developmental neurotoxicity in epidemiological studies, animal experiments and in vitro analyses, 2020, Archives of Toxicology
  • Sharing and community curation of mass spectrometry data with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking, 2020, UNC Libraries
  • Comment on "Plastic Teabags Release Billions of Microparticles and Nanoparticles into Tea", 2020, Environmental Science & Technology
  • Assessment of multiple mycotoxin exposure and its association with food consumption: a human biomonitoring study in a pregnant cohort in rural Bangladesh, 2022, Archives of Toxicology

The scientist frequently collaborates with a set of co-authors including Benedikt Cramer, Melanie Esselen, Matthias Behrens, Svetlana A. Kalinina, and Jan G. Hengstler, indicating ongoing interdisciplinary research partnerships.
