Dr. Zev Gartner is a Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and is co-Director of the UCSF-based, multi-institution Center for Cellular Construction. He graduated from UC Berkeley and earned his PhD in Chemistry from Harvard University in 2004. He is working to understand how cells assemble into multicellular tissues; how the structure of tissues coordinate the behavior of individual cells; and how changes to tissue structure drive the progression of diseases like cancer. Toward these goals, he and his lab build, perturb, and model human tissues in vitro using techniques from the chemical, engineering, physical and biological sciences.
