Abstract

ABSTRACT Gregory Alushin received his bachelor degree in biochemistry from Columbia University in 2006. He then joined the laboratory of Eva Nogales to work on structural aspects of microtubules and kinetochores for his PhD in biophysics, and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2012. Greg then moved to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, NIH, Bethesda, as a postdoctoral fellow with Clare Waterman. In 2013, he received an Early Independence Award from the NIH, enabling him to establish his own laboratory. Greg has been an Assistant Professor at Rockefeller University, New York, since 2017. He has received the Norton B. Gilula Award from the American Society for Cell Biology, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and was named one of Forbes' ‘30 under 30 in science and healthcare’ in 2014. Research in his laboratory focuses on understanding how actin responds to mechanical forces and how this response affects cellular signalling.
