Dina Grohmann studied biology at the Heinrich Heine-University in Düsseldorf and did her PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology. She obtained her PhD in Physical Biochemistry in 2006. In 2007, she joined the group of Prof. Finn Werner at University College London as a postdoctoral researcher, followed by a position as a junior research group leader at the Technical University of Braunschweig. In 2015, she was appointed as an associate professor at the University of Regensburg, followed by a full professorship in 2019. Combining single-molecule biophysics, biochemistry, organismic and molecular microbiology, and state-of-the-art sequencing techniques, her research aims to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular machineries that are crucially involved in the cellular RNA metabolism. This includes research on the mammalian RNA silencing pathway and the key player in this pathway, human Argonaute 2.
