Petra Janning studied chemistry at the University of Münster, Germany, and did her PhD thesis at the Institute for Analytical Sciences in Dortmund, Germany in 1995. After different positions where she worked in the area of analytical chemistry and on the borderline between chemistry and biology she joined the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Physiology, Dortmund, in the department of Professor H. Waldmann, where she is currently working. She is responsible for the Bioorganic Practical Course and the analytics in the department. She focused her work on mass spectrometry based methods in proteome research in particular in target protein identification of small molecules.
