Prof. Ruth Birner-Grünberger
TU Wien
“Functional proteomics of lung cancer reveals metabolic adaptations leveraging oxidative stress defence and limitation of advanced glycation end product formation”
Prof. Ruth Birner-Grünberger is a renowned biochemist and has been a full professor for Bioanalytics at the Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics at TU Wien since July 2019.
She studied Technical Chemistry at TU Graz and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia, and earned her PhD at TU Graz in the field of mitochondrial lipid biochemistry.
Her research focuses on the interface of bioanalytics, biochemistry, and cell biology, particularly in the areas of proteomics, lipid metabolism, and cancer metabolism.
Before joining TU Wien, she led the Core Facility for Mass Spectrometry at the Medical University of Graz and was also an associate professor there.
In addition, she actively participates in scientific societies, having served as president of the Austrian Proteomics and Metabolomics Association (2015–2019) and as a member of the General Council of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) since 2017.
