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]
