Bernd Wollscheid, PhD
Bernd Wollscheid is a Professor at the Institute of Translational Medicine at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at the Federal Swiss Institute of Technology / ETH Zurich. The goal of the Wollscheid laboratory is to functionally understand the cellular surfaceome and its signaling communities as a complex information gateway connecting the intracellular to the extracellular interactome. The research team develops and applies next generation technologies at the interface of biology, chemistry, medicine and bioinformatics to generate unprecedented data to establish the surfaceome proteotype and its signaling interaction network. This digital proteotype data layer provides the basis for generating qualitative and quantitative surfaceome models explaining how molecular nanoscale organization influences cellular signaling and biological function.
