Role of GARP in Retrograde Transport from Endosomes to the TGN

Juan Bonifacino

Dr. Bonifacino received his PhD degree in biochemistry in 1981 from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. In 1982, he moved to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, where he pursued his post-doctoral studies. In 1997, Dr. Bonifacino became the Chief of the Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch (CBMB).

Throughout his career, Dr. Bonifacino has been interested in the molecular mechanisms that determine protein localization and fate in the secretory and endocytic pathways, and diseases that result from dysfunction of these mechanisms. In particular, Dr. Bonifacino's group at the NIH has conducted research on signals and adaptor proteins that mediate protein sorting in the endosomal-lysosomal system.
