Gregg G. Gundersen is an American cell biologist and a faculty member in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at Columbia University.
Early life and education[edit]
Gundersen earned his PhD degree from the University of Washington in the lab of Bennett M Shapiro where he provided evidence that the sperm cell fusses its outer membrane with oocytes during fertilization.[1] He then went on to conduct a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of his former wife, Jeannette Chloe Bulinski, at UCLA where he demonstrated that a subset of microtubules accumulate post-translational modifications.[2]. After a short postdoctoral fellowship at CalTech he and Bulinski moved to Columbia University where they took faculty positions in the departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, and Pathology.
Career[edit]
Gundersen's work has focused on how the microtubule and actin cytokskeletons contribute to cell polarity in mammalian cells. His lab demonstrated that a subset of microtubules that are oriented towards the leading edge of migrating cells become stabilized by formins, and +TIP proteins, including EB1 and APC.[3][4] He also provided evidence that the LINC complex drives nuclear migration in polarized mammalian cells by connecting the nucleus to the actin cytoskeleton.[5][6] His lab has also made seminal advances in how the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons regulate cell attachments (also known as focal adhesions) to the extracellular matrix.[7][8]
