Sven Diederichs's Biography



Sven Diederichs, Group Leader, University Of Heidelberg

Since 2008, Sven Diederichs leads the research group “Molecular RNA Biology & Cancer” at the German Cancer Research Center DKFZ and the Institute of Pathology at the University of Heidelberg. His research is focused on the one hand side microRNA biogenesis and the improvement of RNA interference - on the other hand, he investigates the expression and function of long non-coding RNAs in cancer. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow with Daniel Haber at Harvard Medical School / MGH Cancer Center here in Boston. In 2004, he received his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Muenster in Germany. His scientific work has been recogniozed by several awards including AACR Scholar-in-Training Awards, the Young Scientist Award of the German National Academy of Scientists Leopoldina and most recently the Innovation Award of the Society of Cell Biology.

Argonaute proteins had been discovered as the effector proteins of the microRNA pathway. However, I would like to shed some new light on the many roles that Argonaute proteins can play in microRNA processing, stabilization, strand selection and RNA interference.
