Jürgen Eirich

I studied chemistry and biochemistry and obtained my PhD in the field of chemical biology. I have been working in the field of mass spectrometry-based proteomics for several years now and have analysed samples from various organisms and origins. During a postdoctoral stay in Stockholm (Sweden), I was working on chemical and clinical proteomics, before joining the plant physiology and proteomics group at the university of Münster. My current research interest focuses on the analysis of post-translational modifications in plants to understand their function in stress response and other biological processes.
