Biography
After studying Chemistry at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris), Claudia BICH went to the laboratory of Prof. Renato Zenobi at ETH Zürich to do her doctorate thesis validated in 2009 on “Chemical cross-linking, mass spectrometry, and noncovalent macromolecular complexes”. After 2 years of post-doctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. Alain Brunelle at ICSN on working on lipids imaging with mass spectrometry (MS), she worked 3 years at LimmaTech Biologics (Schlieren, Suisse), a company developing glycoproteins as vaccines against bacteria as Senior Scientist in MS. She was then recruited as assistant professor in September 2017 at IBMM. She joined the analytical team F12 to develop, in close collaboration with Prof. C. Perrin, the coupling between capillary electrophoresis (CE) and mass spectrometry (MS) for the analysis and characterization of biomolecules such as glycoproteins (i.e. therapeutic antibodies), peptides from animals (i.e. venoms) and other type of natural or synthetic pharmaceutical molecules.
