Ruedi Aebersold is a Swiss and Canadian scientist. He trained at the Biocenter, University of Basel, Switzerland and completed his education at Caltech. He was on the faculties of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and the University of Washington in Seattle and co-founded, with Lee Hood and Alan Aderem, the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, a world first. He has co-founded several companies and holds several public service appointments. Ruedi was awarded an honorary doctorate of the University of Lund, Sweden and the work of the group was recognized with numerous prizes and awards including the Biemann medal of ASMS, the Paracelsus prize of the Swiss Chemical Society, the Otto Naegeli Prize, the Thomson medal of IMSF and the HUPO achievement award. In 2020, Ruedi received the prestigious Marcel Benoist Swiss Science Prize for his pioneering work in the field of systems biology. He has been emeritus Professor at the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zurich, since 2020 and has been heading the Tumor Profiler Project at ETH Zurich.

The research focus of the Aebersold group was the proteome. The group has pioneered several widely used techniques and generated a range of open access/open source software and statistical tools that have contributed to making proteomic research results more transparent, reproducible and accurate. In his group, these techniques have been applied to a wide range of projects in basic and translational research. His publications have been cited more than 122.000 times and reached an H-factor of 168 (WoS, 2022).

Correction of misstatement made regarding cost of Henrietta Lacks' cells (I thought 40k, I was mistaken and apologize for the oversight):
"Today, Skloot says, a vial of HeLa cells can be purchased online for about $250 a vial."
