Dietmar Weichert

Dr. Dietmar Weichert is a Principal Scientist at Boehringer Ingelheim, specializing in membrane protein structural biology. His recent work includes determining high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR55 in complex with diverse ligands. These insights are pivotal for structure-based drug discovery targeting GPR55, with implications for cancer, inflammation, and metabolic diseases. Dr. Weichert’s research bridges structural biology and pharmacology, advancing the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
