Proteomics and Genomics

Mann

 

Prof. Dr. Matthias Mann

Director of the department of proteomics and signal transduction at MPI Biochemistry in Munich

Matthias Mann studied physics and mathematics at Göttingen University in Germany and obtained his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Yale where he was decisively involved in the development of electrospray ionization. Thereafter at the University of Southern Denmark he developed the first bioinformatic search algorithms for peptide fragmentation data and SILAC, a new method of quantitative proteomics and a breakthrough in the mapping of protein interactions.

In 2005, he was appointed director at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich. Here his group addresses a wide range of biological questions developing and using proteomic technology. In 2009 Dr. Mann was additionally appointed director at the NNF Center for Protein Research in Copenhagen.

He has been elected as a member of EMBO, the Royal Danish Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Leopoldina German National Academy of Sciences. In 2012 he was awarded the Leibniz Prize from the German Research Foundation, the Ernst Schering Prize, the Louis-Jeantet Foundation Prize for Medicine and the Körber European Science Prize. In 2015 was awarded the Barry L. Karger Medal in Bioanalytical Chemistry and the Theodor Bücher Lecture and Medal as well as the Danish Order of Dannebrog Knights Cross.
