Ruedi Aebersold Wins 100th Marcel Benoist Swiss Science Prize

(ETH Zurich, September 21, 2020)

Ruedi Aebersold, Professor Emeritus of Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zürich and the University of Zurich, is to receive the Marcel Benoist Swiss Science Prize, often referred to as the Swiss Nobel Prize, for his pioneering work in the field of systems biology. Using a novel mass spectrometry-​based analytical methodology, Aebersold has devoted his research career to finding a way to record all the proteins of a cell or living organism qualitatively and quantitatively at a given point in time (the proteome). This approach allowed him to usher in a paradigm shift in favor of the quantitative measurement and systemic observation of proteins, thereby not only transforming our understanding of organisms and biology in general, but also influencing the field of translational medicine and laying the foundation for the personalized medicine of the future.
