Maarten Altelaar is a Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Utrecht University. His research group focuses on the development and implementation of innovative mass spectrometric methods for the efficient and detailed characterization of proteins, protein complexes, and post-translational modifications (PTMs) as they relate to biological function and health in disease contexts. His main emphasis is on improving sensitivity, specificity, and throughput in proteomics technology, particularly for the investigation of cellular signaling networks. His lab has pioneered label-free phosphopeptide quantification in combination with targeted mass spectrometry (SRM) to monitor pathway-specific phosphorylation dynamics. Furthermore, the group implements cross-omics approaches to understand system-wide biological responses to perturbations, especially regarding drug sensitivity and resistance. In 2013, he received a VIDI grant to work on proteome-wide crosstalk mechanisms in cancer signaling and drug resistance. He is also involved in large consortia such as the Netherlands Proteomics Centre and X-Omics PrimeXS, and currently serves as treasurer for the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation.
