Peter Ertl has studied Food Science and Biotechnology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna. He then moved to Canada where he conducted his scientific work for his docotoral theses at the University of Waterloo (Toronto) and was awarded his doctorate in 2001 for his thesis on "Development of an electrochemical biosensor for the rapid identification and quantitation of microorganisms, opens an external URL in a new window". Subsequently he did a PostDoc at the University of California, Berkeley (San Francisco, USA) 2003-2004. In addition he was Co-founder of a Biotech Start-up during this period. 2005 he moved back to Austria to AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology), working there as a senior researcher. 2011 he obtained his Venia Docendi, thus qualifiying him to teach in the area of Nanobiotechnology, with his habilitation "Development of biosensors and microsystems for biomedical applications, opens an external URL in a new window" at the BOKU. Due to a Fulbright Stipendia he could spent another PostDoc at the University of California, Berkeley,  as well as doing research at the Center of Biomimetic Sensor Science of the Nanyang Technological University, opens an external URL in a new window in Singapore and - again back in the USA - at the UCSF Health. In 2016 Peter Ertl was able to achieve a temporary professorship for "Lab-on-a-Chip Systems in Bioscience Technologies" at TU Wien. In 2019 he was a Visiting Researcher at the Imperial College London.

Peter Ertl was Head of the Research Group for Cell Chip, opens an external URL in a new window, within the Research Unit of Organic and Biological Chemistry (E163-03) as well as within the Research Unit of Environmental Analytics, Process Analytics and Sensors (E164-02).
