Biography

Petra Zürbig received her PhD in Chemistry from the RWTH Aachen in 1997. Between 1998 and 2001 she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Lower Saxony Institute for Peptide Research (IPF), Germany. Here she worked at the department of peptide analysis and achieved deep insight into sequence analysis of peptides via mass spectrometric approaches. She completed her mass spectrometric knowledge as scientist at BioVisioN AG, Germany from 2001-2002. In 2003 she took up the position as head of the proteomics laboratory at the Fraunhofer Institute of Toxicology and Experimental Medicine (ITEM), Germany. Since 2005 she holds the position as group leader of MOS. In addition, she is the project manager of all kidney disease and aging projects. She is author of more than 70 papers, patents, or conference contributions, which have been cited over 1900 times (h-factor 24).
