Biography

Martin H. Wühr is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University and is also affiliated with the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics. He has a robust background in biochemistry, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the Technical University of Munich in 2004 and his PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University in 2010. Wühr's research is focused on advancing quantitative proteomics technology, combining computational, biochemical, and imaging methods to study the structure and function of the cytoplasm, nucleocytoplasmic partitioning, and the regulation of protein expression levels. His laboratory, the Laboratory for Systems Biochemistry, is dedicated to developing multiplexed mass spectrometry methods for quantifying low-abundance proteins, such as transcription factors and kinases, and aims to make quantitative proteomics compatible with cost-effective mass spectrometers. In his work, Wühr seeks to systematically measure binding constants and investigate the dynamics of protein interactions within the nucleus, contributing significantly to the fields of biomolecular engineering and cellular tissue engineering.
