Gary Brouhard

Gary Brouhard is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University. His research focuses on Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, specifically investigating the biophysical mechanisms that govern cell morphology. His work centers on the microtubule cytoskeleton, including the study of microtubule polymerases, motor proteins, and other associated proteins. The Brouhard Lab employs single-molecule biophysics to explore the molecular basis of microtubule dynamics. His research has been published in prominent journals such as Developmental Cell and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology.

Gary Brouhard is an Associate Professor of Biology at McGill University, specializing in the study of microtubules. His research focuses on the dynamics of microtubules, including their polymerization, depolymerization, and interactions with microtubule-associated proteins. Brouhard's work explores how microtubule dynamics are influenced by factors such as tubulin curvature, mechanical forces, and the activity of motor proteins like MCAK. His research also investigates the structural and functional diversity of microtubules in various biological contexts, including somitogenesis and chromosome segregation. Through advanced imaging techniques and biochemical reconstitution, Brouhard aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying microtubule behavior.
