About

Jean Gruenberg was a professor of Biochemistry at the University of Geneva. The main interest of his research group was to study the morphogenesis of sub-cellular organelles and the mechanisms that control intracellular membrane dynamics. He was also a member of LipidX (Systems Biology of Biomembranes) supported by the Swiss Initiative in Systems Biology. After forty years amidst scientific discoveries,, Prof. Jean Gruenberg closed his laboratory in 2018 and left the NCCR Chemical Biology and the department of Biochemistry at the University of Geneva.
