Alexander Groisman is a full professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, in 2000. His research interests include biolistic delivery using gene guns, the kinetics and thermodynamics of protein folding, and various aspects of imaging and behavior in biological systems such as C. elegans and human leukocytes in the context of HIV studies. Additionally, he investigates the dynamics of microbial cultures within microchambers and their responses to chemotactic gradients. Groisman employs advanced techniques like TIRF microscopy to study cellular phenomena, including substrate rigidity sensing and oxygen control in cell organisms. His seminal work has been published in high-impact journals such as Nature Methods, PLoS Biology, and Physical Review Letters, focusing on the interplay between biological and physical systems.
Administered by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Curricular groups include Climate-Ocean-Atmosphere (COAP), Geosciences (GEO), and Ocean Biosciences (OBP).
