Steinbeck received his PhD from the University of Bonn[6] in 1995 for work on LUCY, a software program for structural elucidation from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) correlation experiments.[7] In 2003 he received his habilitation.[8]
Steinbeck's research interests[2][9][10][11] have involved the elucidation of chemical structures of metabolites. He was one of the first chemists to develop open source tools for cheminformatics. He initiated JChemPaint,[12] was founder of the Chemistry Development Kit,[13][14] and is responsible for leading the team working on Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI).[15][16][17][18] He headed the Cheminformatics and Metabolomics group at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom from 2008 to 2016. He became a professor for analytical chemistry, cheminformatics and chemometrics at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena in Thuringia, Germany in March 2017. Since 2020, Steinbeck is leading the German National Research Data Infrastructure for Chemistry (NFDI4Chem)[19] and in August 2022, he became vice President for digitalisation of the Friedrich Schiller University.[20] Together with a few other chemists he was a founder member of the Blue Obelisk[21][22] movement in 2005.[23]
Steinbeck was past editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cheminformatics, past director of the Metabolomics Society,[24] past chair of the Computers-Information-Chemistry division of the German Chemical Society, past trustee of the Chemical Structure Association Trust,[25] and a lifetime member of the World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists.[26]
