Christian Huber

Fascinated by the diversity of biological macromolecules, Christian Huber strived to find biomedical applications for the analytical methods he developed. After becoming chair of analytical chemistry at Saarland University, he moved into proteome analysis. More recently, he joined the University of Salzburg’s molecular biology department in Austria. “It is fascinating how state-of-the art analytical technologies, most of all chromatography and mass spectrometry, can be used to study the molecular biology of cancer, nanotoxicity, or drug integrity,” he says.
