About

Maximilian Gantz is a rising leader in the field of high-throughput experimentation and automated chemical synthesis. His research focuses on developing innovative platforms that dramatically accelerate the discovery and optimization of new reactions and biocatalysts. Gantz’s major contributions include pioneering ultrahigh-throughput screening in microfluidic droplets, a technique that enables the rapid evaluation of millions of enzyme variants, as detailed in his 2021 paper (17 citations). More recently, he introduced RAVE MS (Robotically Automated Vacuum Enabled Direct-Inject Mass Spectrometry), a low-cost, high-speed analytical system that samples every 12 seconds, democratizing access to real-time reaction monitoring. This work, published in 2025, promises to transform cross-modality reaction optimization by integrating affordable hardware with automated workflows. Gantz’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of his methods for accelerating the pace of chemical discovery, positioning him as a key innovator in the automation of laboratory research.
