Detailed Biography:

Dr. Lars Dreier joined the Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in 2006. Lars did his Ph.D. work in the Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, in the lab of Tom Rapoport, reconstituting the transport of secretory proteins through the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane and characterizing the formation of the ER in vitro. In 2000, he joined the lab of Josh Kaplan at the University of California, Berkeley, where he started to work on ubiquitin-dependent regulation of glutamate receptors in C. elegans . Lars moved with the Kaplan lab back to Boston in 2002.
