Amos Gutnick, PhD, is a researcher at Biogen’s Neuromuscular and Muscle Disease Research Unit.  He earned his PhD in Molecular Biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, under the tutelage of Dr. Gil Levkowitz, during which time he established live imaging techniques to uncover the molecular biology driving neurodevelopment in zebrafish.  Before joining Biogen, he was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Thomas Schwarz at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, where he coinvented Zapalog, a method for controlling intracellular protein localization, and subsequently employed this method to study mitochondrial motility and anchoring in neurons.
