Mentoring Session 2 - Career, Family and Work-Life Balance
Ruth Huttenhain received her PhD from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where she developed high-throughput, large scale targeted mass spectrometric approaches. During her postdoc at UCSF, Ruth extended her expertise in quantitative mass spectrometry to study dynamics of protein interaction networks. She pioneered a proximity labeling-mass spectrometry approach that simultaneously captures the precise temporal remodeling and spatial organization of proximal protein networks. Recently, Ruth became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at UCSF. Her group is focused on characterizing protein interaction and signaling networks to understand the biology underlying the development of psychiatric disorders and the sensing and transmission of pain. Besides being a scientist, Ruth is a passionate mom of a 2 year old toddler with whom she loves spending time.
