Cell scientist to watch - Marvin Tanenbaum.

Marvin Tanenbaum performed his undergraduate studies in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. He obtained his PhD from Utrecht University in 2010 cum laude, having worked with René Medema on microtubule motor proteins. He won the Netherlands Association for Medical Education (NVMO) Oncology and Utrecht University Thesis awards, and moved to San Francisco with an EMBO long-term fellowship for his postdoctoral position in Ron Vale's laboratory at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). There, Marvin shifted his focus to gene expression dynamics in living cells and developed the SunTag method to observe single-molecules in real time. He became a group leader at the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht in 2015, supported by a European Research Council (ERC) starting grant.
