Robert Moritz is a Faculty member, Professor, and Head of Proteomics Research at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle (WA, USA). His group develops and applies cutting-edge proteomics technologies to biomarker analysis of wellness and aging, disease biomarkers for early detection of cancer and a number of infectious disease pathogens. The Moritz group is the primary developer of the world-renowned Trans-Proteomic Pipeline proteomics software tools for statistical validation of proteome identifications, protein crosslinking analysis with Kojak and many online resources for quantitative proteomics. His group developed the complete Human PeptideAtlas, SRMAtlas, SWATHAtlas and related software routines to provide quantitative resources and repositories of mass spectrometric assays to all proteins. Moritz has published more than 290 research articles, a number of book chapters, and holds multiple patents.

Moritz is currently the Chair of the Human Proteome Project (HPP) and was previously Vice-President of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO; both MI, USA) where he plays a large role in growing the society. He guides several scientific journals as part of the Journals boards and is a member of a number of scientific advisory boards to life-science companies. Moritz is active in the teaching and dissemination of proteomics technologies, fosters education exchanges and creates forums for collaborative relationships centered on the proteome.
