Oliver Mühlemann is a full professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Bern, Switzerland. He leads a research group focused on post-transcriptional gene regulation in human cells, specifically investigating the molecular mechanisms and biological implications of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). NMD is a crucial mRNA quality control process that identifies and degrades mRNPs that fail to terminate translation properly, thus regulating the expression levels of physiological mRNAs. Mühlemann completed his studies in Biology at the University of Bern and earned a Ph.D. in Cell Molecular Biology from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. He has had extensive postdoctoral experience at Brandeis University in the United States, and his research career has included significant positions at the University of Bern, where he became a research group leader in 2000. He has received several awards, including a Starting Grant from the European Research Council.
