Irena Levitan been working in the field of calcium-binding and calcium-transporting proteins for many years. After receiving his PhD, he spent two years as a Post-doctoral fellow in the lab of Prof. RJP Williams at Oxford, UK. In 1977, he has accepted a staff position at the Institute of Biochemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich, Switzerland. He was lecturing different courses in Biochemistry and Biophysics and was leading a lab working on the structure-function relationship of calcium-binding and calcium-transporting proteins. After retirement from the ETH he continued his research as a consultant of the Lab of Prof. Christian Griesinger at the MPI in Göttingen, Germany. He has authored, co-authored and edited numerous articles in international journals. Recently he edited a book on “Calcium: A matter of life or death” published in 2007. He serves as the Editorial Board Member of BBA Molecular Cell Research and Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics.
