From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruedi Aebersold is a Swiss biologist, regarded as a pioneer in the fields of proteomics and systems biology. Dr. Aebersold has primarily researched techniques for measuring proteins in complex samples, in many cases via mass spectrometry. He is probably best known as one of the inventors of the Isotope-Coded Affinity Tag (ICAT) technique for proteomics.

Dr. Aebersold is Professor of Systems biology at the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich (ETH Zürich). He was one of the founders of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, Washington, and also has a lab group at this institution.
