Maciek R. Antoniewicz is the DuPont Young Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware. He earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Delft University of Technology, and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Antoniewicz is an expert and a pioneer in the field of 13C-metabolic flux analysis. The central research theme of his group is to develop and apply cutting-edge quantitative analysis tools, and advanced analytical and cell culture methods to study and redirect cellular metabolism.

His interdisciplinary research program in metabolic engineering and systems biology focuses on significant problems in key areas related to biotechnology (e.g. biofuels production using microbes and cell culture engineering using mammalian cells) and medicine (e.g. obesity, diabetes, and cancer). His research has been supported by major grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as from industry. Dr. Antoniewicz served on various committees and scientific boards for national and international conferences, including International Advisory Board for the Biotechnology World Congress Meetings, Scientific Board for ECI Metabolic Engineering Conference, Program Committee for 3rd Conference on Foundations of Systems Biology in Engineering, and Session Organizer for ECI Biochemical and Molecular Engineering Conference. He also serves on the Editorial Boards for two international journals, Current Opinion in Biotechnology and Biotechnology Journal. Dr. Antoniewicz received several national and international awards for his research, including the DuPont Young Professor Award, the James E. Bailey Young Investigator Award in Metabolic Engineering, NSF CAREER Award, and Gerard J. Mangone Best Young Scholar Award at the University of Delaware. His current interests are in dynamic metabolic flux analysis at metabolic non-steady state and the use of tandem mass spectrometry for flux analysis studies.
