He has been emeritus Professor at the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zurich, since 2020 and has been heading the Tumor Profiler Project at ETH Zurich. The research focus of the Aebersold group was the proteome. The group has pioneered several widely used techniques and generated a range of open access/open source software and statistical tools that have contributed to making proteomic research results more transparent, reproducible and accurate. In his group, these techniques have been applied to a wide range of projects in basic and translational research. His publications have been cited more than 122.000 times and reached an H-factor of 168 (WoS, 2022).
