Ivan Dikic trained as a medical doctor in his hometown Zagreb (Croatia), before joining the lab of Joseph Schlessinger in New York in 1992 to pursue a PhD thesis in molecular biology. He moved back to Europe in 1997 to start his own group at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Uppsala (Sweden).
In 2002, Ivan Dikic accepted a professorship at Goethe University and was appointed as director of the Institute of Biochemistry II in 2009. In parallel, he was the founding director of the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (BMLS), where he until today sustains a lab.
His research is dedicated to deciphering the molecular mechanisms of cellular signaling pathways, which are highly relevant for human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and inflammation. He was awarded numerous recognitions, amongst them the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize 2013 and election to the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Read More

Mohit obtained his Master's in Biotechnology and worked as a Junior Research Fellow at ICGEB, New Delhi. He moved to WΓΌrzburg to pursue his doctorate in Prof. Hermann Schindelin's lab where he worked on the structural and biochemical characterization of the ubiquitin activating enzyme. After a brief postdoc in WΓΌrbzurg, he has joined the Dikic lab in April 2018 to explore novel mechanisms of ubiquitylation by bacterial effector proteins.
