Biography

Dieter Kressler leads the proteomics platform at the University of Fribourg, specializing in eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis. With 30 years of research, he has identified over 200 factors involved in the assembly and maturation of ribosomal particles, primarily using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism. His work has focused on understanding the complexities of ribosome assembly, highlighting the roles of dedicated chaperones and their interaction with ribosomal proteins. Advances in cryo-electron microscopy have facilitated insights into the stages of assembly, revealing the intricate processes that govern ribosome formation. Kressler's recent proposals include identifying novel chaperones, characterizing their functional roles in ribosome biogenesis, and dissecting co-translational regulatory mechanisms. He has been involved in multiple significant research projects that utilize a combination of genetic, biochemical, and structural methods to unveil the molecular details of ribosome assembly and its regulation.
