Gary McDowell

Gary McDowell is a postdoctoral researcher at Tufts University and a Visiting Scholar at Boston College. He is also a member of the organizing committee with the Future of Research group. After training in chemistry, he moved into studying biochemistry and developmental biology in Xenopus laevis and has worked on non-canonical forms of ubiquitylation and mass spectrometry in developmental contexts. He then moved on to study his current work investigating the role of the cytoskeleton in a conserved mechanism for left-right organ patterning in embryo development in vertebrates.
