Endosome-to-Golgi retrograde transport pathways: Relevance to development and disease

Il 06/10/2014 ore 14.30 - 15.30

Aula Seminari IGB II piano, Area della Ricerca Na1, CNR, Via P. castellino, 111

Professor Paul Gleeson is the Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Melbourne, located at Bio21 Institute.  Professor Gleeson’s research interests are in the molecular basis of organ-specific autoimmune diseases, and the molecular mechanisms of intracellular membrane transport. His research dissects complex cell interactions of the immune system and also applies a range of cell biological approaches to discover the molecular machines that regulate transport pathways in a range of different systems, including transformed and primary cells and whole organisms.  He has published over 140 articles in internationally refereed journals and 10 book chapters.  He is on the editorial board of international journals as well as a member of the Faculty of 1000.  Paul Gleeson obtained his PhD in 1980 from the University of Melbourne and did post-doctoral work in the biosynthesis and function of glycoproteins at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, National Institute for Medical research, Mill Hill London and Department of Biochemistry, La Trobe University. From 1986-2001 he rose from Lecturer to Assoc/Professor in the Department of Immunology and Pathology, Monash University where he and his colleagues developed mouse models of autoimmune gastritis.  In 2001 he moved to Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Melbourne and has been Head of the Department since 2006.  He has a number of international research collaborations and has been a visiting scientist at the EMBL, Heidelberg, and the Institut Curie, Paris.
