Meet Alexander Leitner

Calling: “I was attracted to analytical chemistry and particularly mass spectrometry early on. Then I moved towards biology because this is one area where analytical scientists can have a huge impact.”

Regret: “Depends on my mood actually. Us Austrians have a tendency to complain...”

Emphasis: “The development of advanced mass spectrometric methods for studying protein structure, function and interactions; predominantly using chemical cross-linking.”

Advice: “Do not expect your career path to be a straight line – and don’t be afraid of interdisciplinary projects!”
