CV Stefan Tenzer

 

Stefan Tenzer studied biochemistry at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen. In 2005, he received his doctorate in biochemistry at the Institute of Cell Biology. His research focused on the cutting behavior of the 20S proteasome.


Since 2005 he has been working as a scientist at the Institute of Immunology at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. In 2005 he became group leader for antigen processing and mass spectrometry. From 2005 to 2008 he was head of the Equipment Center for Mass Spectrometry and Protein Biochemistry within the Cluster of Excellence "Immunointervention". Since 2009 he is the head of the instrument center for mass spectrometry and protein biochemistry at the Research Center for Immunotherapy (FZI).


In 2016, Stefan Tenzer was appointed W2 professor for Quantitative Proteomics. Within the framework of various SFBs and SPPs, he successfully leads several projects and is available as a competent contact person for planning and performing mass spectrometric proteome analyses. Since 2020, he coordinates the Mainz research core DIASyM, which is funded by the BMBF initiative "Research Cores for Mass Spectrometry in Systems Medicine". He is Vice President of the German Society for Proteomics Research and since early 2021 member of the Executive Committee of the European Proteomics Organization. Stefan Tenzer and his group are working on the development of data-independent, ion mobility-based acquisition workflows that optimize sample processing, data processing, bioinformatic analyses, and statistical evaluation.
