“The dynamic architecture of the circulating proteome in health and disease”

Dr. Jochen Schwenk is a professor of translational proteomics in the School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health, KTH, Stockholm. He is the scientific director of the Affinity Proteomics unit at Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and his research group is associated to the Human Protein Atlas project. He acts as a chairman of HUPO’s Human Plasma Proteome project. His research interests include e.g., affinity-based plasma proteomics, translational biomarker discovery, multiplex immunoassay development and biostatistics.
