Research area
The general research interests of the Panse group are centred around how living cells bio-engineer ribosomes, the universal protein-manufacturing machines. The Panse laboratory employs genetic, cell-biological, biochemical, proteomic approaches in budding yeast and cell-culture, in combination with integrative structural biology tools to dissect eukaryotic ribosome assembly, transport and quality control in the context of uncovering the molecular basis of “Ribosomopathies”- diseases associated with impaired ribosome function.
Vikram Panse is an Associate Professor for Molecular Microbiology ad personam at the University of Zürich, Switzerland.
He was born 1972 in Bombay, India. Vikram Panse studied Chemistry at the University of Pune, Pune, India, where he earned his MSc in Chemistry in 1995. In 2001 he received his PhD from the Molecular Biophysics Unit at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. From 2001-2006 he worked as a postdoc in Prof. Ed Hurt’s group at the Biochemistry Center, University of Heidelberg, Germany. In 2007 he was appointed as an independent group leader at ETH Zurich’s Institute of Biochemistry (IBC). From 2010-2016 Vikram Panse has been Assistant Professor (SNFS Professorship from the Swiss National Science Foundation) for Ribosome Biogenesis and Quality Control at the Institute of Biochemistry (IBC), Department of Biology.
