Gregory Emery joined the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) as a Principal Investigator in January 2007. He is also Assistant Professor in the Department of Pahtology and Cell Biology, University of Montreal.
During his training years in Biochemistry, Gregory Emery soon became interested into the field of vesicular trafficking. An interest that went confirmed during his Ph.D. (1997-2002) with Dr Jean Gruenberg at the University of Geneva (Switzerland), one renowned place for Endocytosis core research. For five years Gregory Emery has specifically worked on characterizing transmembrane proteins of the p24 Family involved in the Golgi organization.
With the will of going from a culture model to an animal model Gregory Emery joined in 2002 the research group of Dr Juergen Knoblich in Vienna (Austria), to work on drosophilia, successively postdoc at the IMP then the IMBA where he confirmed his research on the role of the Recycling Endosome during asymetric cell division.
At the IRIC, Gregory Emery's laboratory is dedicated to understanding the role of vesicular trafficking in the regulation of cell signaling, using mainly the fruit fly model.
