Professor Bernd Bodenmiller

Professor Bernd Bodenmiller studied Biochemistry in Bayreuth and at ETH Zürich, where he obtained his PhD with R. Aebersold. For his postdoctoral training, he joined the laboratory of G. Nolan at Stanford University, developing methods for signaling network analysis by mass cytometry. Mass cytometry allows to quantify 135 proteins at the single cell level. In 2013 he became ERC Assistant Professor at the University of Zürich. There his group developed highly multiplexed tissue imaging by mass cytometry and algorithms for downstream data analyses.

In the Grand Challenge these methods will be used to generate at subcellular resolution three dimensional profiles of protein distribution and signaling activity.
