Prof. Connie Jimenez, The Netherlands
What is your current position and location?
I am a full Professor of Translational OncoProteomics, Principle Investigator of the OncoProteomics Laboratory and Director of the Proteomics Core Resource, all at Amsterdam University Medical Center, in the beautiful city of Amsterdam where I was born, in The Netherlands.
How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
I fell in love with mass spectrometry early on in my scientific career, when I was as a PhD student in the field of neurobiology at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam under the supervision of Dr. Ka Wan Li. Starting in 1992, I applied MALDI-TOF-MS to single dissected giant neurons of the snail brain to understand neuropeptide neurotransmission. This single cell profiling worked miraculously well, detecting by mass all the known neuropeptides and identified many more. It took 2 years to characterize them by Edman degradation and later-on when tandem MS of peptides became available. Today all sequencing could have been done in short time from a single cell! In the following years the field of “biological mass spectrometry” evolved into proteomics. My first steps into proteomics were in the laboratory of Prof. Al Burlingame at UCSF, San Francisco. After my post-doc in the US, I moved back to Amsterdam where in 2006, I was fortunate to get a start-up grant of the Cancer Center Amsterdam to found the OncoProteomics Laboratory (www.oncoproteomics.nl).
