Julio E. Celis is Professor and Director of the Institute of Cancer Biology at the Danish Cancer Society and is generally recognized as one of the founding fathers of proteomics. Julio Celis' group in Aarhus introduced the use of protein identification techniques to map HeLa cell proteins and developed the first protein database in 1981. In the early 1980s, the group also laid out the foundations for proteomics by annotating the databases with information gathered from applications to problems in cell biology, in particular cell proliferation and transformation. Together with J. Vandekerckhove he later introduced the use of large scale protein identification using microsequencing.
Celis' group in Copenhagen has pioneered the use of proteomics to the analysis of bladder and breast cancer and introduced the concept of discoveryâ€driven translational cancer research. Julio Celis is currently Secretary General of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), and President of the Initiative for Science in Europe (ISE).
