“Advancing proteomics step-by-step”
Dr. Markus Hartl is a biologist specialized on LC-MS based proteomics and currently the head of the Mass Spectrometry Facility at Max Perutz Labs, Vienna.
Driven by a keen interest in all living things he studied Ecology and Ecological Biochemistry at the University of Vienna, followed by a PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, where he discovered his passion for proteins and proteomics. As a postdoc he joined the lab of Dr. Iris Finkemeier at the LMU Munich, where he optimized the methodology for deep quantitative acetylome profiling in collaboration with the lab of Dr. Matthias Mann.
In 2014, he was appointed as head of the Max Perutz Labs Mass Spectrometry Facility. He and his team provide comprehensive proteomics services to both internal research groups at the Perutz and external clients, including academic institutions and companies in Vienna and beyond. His research centers on optimizing proteomics workflows and on developing innovative methods to address complex biological challenges. Additionally, he is a member of the FWF SFB F70 project, focused on “HDACs as regulators of T cell-mediated immunity in health and disease”, where he contributes to advancing our understanding of the intricate regulation of T-cell mediated immunity and how it can be modulated through HDAC activity.
