About the Author
A native of Chile, Dr. Julio E. Celis received his bachelors degree
from the University of Chile in 1964, and then completed his Ph.D. in
the United States at the University of Iowa. After his postdoctoral
training at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular
Biology in Cambridge, England, he went on to become an assistant
professor at the University of Chile. Dr. Celis was named an
associate professor in 1975 at Aarhus University, Denmark, and in
1987 became Chairman of the Universitys Institute of Medical
Biochemistry. He is also the Chairman of the Danish Centre for Human
Genome Research and was recently elected Secretary General-elect of
the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) 1997. With
nearly 180 publications to his credit, Dr. Celis specialized areas of
research include molecular mechanisms of cancer, human 2D gel protein
databases and their link to genome data, signal transduction, and the
biology of human skin.

Married, with three children and one cat (Max William), Dr. Celis
currently resides in Denmark where he holds among his many titles the
chair to the Symposium and Prize Committee of the Danish Cancer
Society, as well as the acting Chairman of the Nordic Molecular
Biology Association (NOMBA). Dr. Celis is currently the Vice
President of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Council
