Greg received his B.A. in Biochemistry from Columbia in 2006 and his Ph.D. in Biophysics from UC Berkeley in 2012. During his graduate studies he worked with Eva Nogales to visualize structural transitions in tubulin underlying microtubule dynamic instability and protein complexes which form attachments between chromosomes and microtubules during mitosis. After a brief postdoc with Clare Waterman at the NIH focused on the cell biology of the actin cytoskeleton and mechanical signal transduction, Greg established his lab there in 2013 as a faculty fellow. He was appointed as Assistant Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Structural Biophysics and Mechanobiology at Rockefeller in 2017.
