Director Bachelor of Biomedical Science
Dr Dichtl did his PhD studies at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory
(EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany and at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland
working on the molecular toxicity of lithium and the processing of ribosomal
RNA and transfer RNA precursors. Supported by an EMBO long-term fellowship he
then took up post-doctoral work at the Biocenter, in Basel Switzerland where
he studied the mechanisms of pre-mRNA polyadenylation and transcription
termination. A highly competitive and prestigious Foerderprofessur grant of
the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) allowed him to establish his own
research group at the Institute of Molecular Life Sciences, University of
Zurich, Switzerland. There, he expanded his research activities to the
analyses of chromatin modifying enzymes and the assembly of multi-protein
complexes. Dr Dichtl's laboratory relocated to Deakin University at the end of
2010. In 2014 he won an ARC Discovery Project grant to study the mechanisms of
protein complex formation.
