Paola Picotti completed her PhD at the University of Padua (Italy) and then joined the group of Ruedi Aebersold at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where she developed novel targeted proteomic techniques. In 2011, she was appointed Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich. Her group develops structural and chemoproteomics methods and uses them to study the consequences of intracellular protein aggregation. Paola Picotti’s research was awarded an ERC Starting grant, a Professorship grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Latsis Prize, the Robert J Cotter Award, the SGMS Award and the EMBO Young Investigator Award. Main contributions of her group are the development of a structural method to analyze protein conformational changes on a system-wide level, the discovery of novel allosteric interactions, the analysis of the determinants of proteome thermostability and the identification of a novel neuronal clearance mechanism for a protein involved in Parkinson’s disease.       Paola Picotti completed her PhD at the University of Padua (Italy) and then joined the group of Ruedi Aebersold at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where she developed novel targeted proteomic techniques.
