| History | : | Born in 1950 in Switzerland, Jean Gruenberg started his career as a PhD student in the group of Prof. Deshusses in the Department of Biochemistry (UNIGE) studying active transport of metabolites in prokaryotes (1980). Post-doctoral training led him first tot he university of California Riverside (1980-1982), then to the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg where he was among the founders of the membrane trafficking field (1983-1987). He started his first independent research group at EMBL (1987-1993) before returning to the Biochemistry Department in Geneva to study membrane trafficking in late endosomal compartments. The main interest of his research group at Geneva is to study the morphogenesis of sub-cellular organelles and the mechanisms that control intracellular membrane dynamics. His research in the fields of cell biology and biochemistry has significantly contributed to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the intracellular traffic within eukaryotic cells, more especially in the endolysosomal pathway. Using innovative approaches such as phospholipid-specific antibodies and reconstituted cell-free systems, Jean Gruenberg and his colleagues were able to unravel several important mechanisms regulating the biogenesis and membrane dynamics of early and late endosomal compartments.
