Professor
Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Vienna, Austria
Wien, Wien, Austria
Prof. Dr. Robert Ahrends studied biochemistry in Gießen and did his doctorate at the Institute for Analytical Chemistry at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He then went to Agilent Technologies for a year to develop analytical measurement methods before moving to Stanford University (Chemical and Systems Biology), USA, as a postdoc. In 2013 he returned to Germany as a group leader at the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS) in Dortmund. Since January 2020, he has been working as Prof. at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Vienna.
With his group, Ahrends combines state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and data analysis methods (https://lifs-tools.org/) for the global elucidation of lipidomes. His primary focus here is on cardiovascular lipid metabolism and signal transduction. He develops very sensitive analysis methods for lipids and their corresponding proteins for specific questions within this particular lipid metabolism https://lipidomics.at/.
