Since 1st February 2005, Jörg Stelling is an assistant professor for Bioinformatics at the ETH Zurich. He was born 1969 in Hildesheim (Germany). From 1989 until 1996 he studied Biotechnology at the Technical University Braunschweig, with a stay abroad at the Ecole Normal Superieure d'Agronomie Montpellier. Starting in the end of 1996 he was postgraduate at the Institute for Systems Dynamics and Control Engineering of the University Stuttgart, before in mid 1998 he became one of the first collaborators of the newly founded Max-Planck-Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems. There Jörg Stelling was significantly involved in establishing the division "Systems Biology". In this field he received his PhD in 2004 on the analysis of robustness of complex biological networks at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Stuttgart University. In Mai 2008 he becomes full professor of Computational Systems Biology at the new Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (BSSE) in Basel.

His research interests are in the fields of analysis and synthesis of biological networks with the help of - and by further development of - methods from systems theory and computer science. The strong interdisciplinary character of the research projects is reflected by a (international) network of co-operation partners from different scientific fields.
