معرفی
Prof. Dirk Görlich is a Professor and Director of the Department of Cellular Logistics at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen, Germany. His research focuses on nuclear pore complexes, hydrogels, structural biology, and protein engineering. He holds a Diploma in Biochemistry from Martin Luther University in Halle (1989), a PhD from Humboldt University Berlin (1993), and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge (1993–1995). Previously, he led a research group at the ZMBH Heidelberg (1996–2007) and was a Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Heidelberg (2001–2007).
His major research interests include the function and assembly of nuclear pore complexes, phase separation phenomena in hydrogels, and the development of recombinant antibodies. He has contributed to groundbreaking studies on nuclear transport mechanisms and the structural basis of nuclear pore selectivity. His work integrates biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches to understand cellular logistics at the molecular level.
Notable contributions include analyzing the permeability properties of nuclear pores, elucidating exportin structures, and developing nanobody tools for super-resolution imaging. His research has been published in top journals like Cell, Science, and Nature Communications.
