Jochen Schwenk

Jochen M Schwenk studied Biochemistry at the University of Tübingen and received his PhD in 2005 for his work on multiplexed immunoassays. Jochen then joined Mathias Uhlén and the Human Protein Atlas (www.proteinatlas.org) as a postdoc where he developed affinity proteomics methods for studying proteins circulating the human blood. During 2010, Jochen’s lab relocated to the Science for Life Laboratory (www.scilifelab.se) where he acts as Scientific Director for a National Facility. Since 2015, he serves as the Chair of the Human Plasma Proteome Project for the Human Proteome Organization. Jochen is now a Professor in Translational Proteomics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and his research focused on advanced immunoassay systems to increase our clinical understanding about how circulating proteins relate to human biology.
