Vladimir Gelfand is the Leslie B. Arey Professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. His research focuses on the use of Drosophila genetics, mammalian cell culture, and live cell tissue imaging to understand the roles of microtubules and cytoskeletal polymers in cell shape, differentiation, and intracellular transport. Gelfand studies Drosophila neurons both in vivo and in vitro, alongside Drosophila oocytes and mammalian tissue culture cells, utilizing fluorescent microscopy as a central technique in his lab. His work has implications for understanding neurodegenerative diseases and the fundamental processes involved in cell movement and organization.
