Overview

Gary M. Bokoch was affiliated with the Scripps Research Institute in the United States. Their scientific work focused on cell biology, particularly on microtubule dynamics and mitosis.

The scientist contributed to research published primarily in the venue UNC Libraries. Two recent papers included:

  • GEF-H1 Modulates Localized RhoA Activation during Cytokinesis under the Control of Mitotic Kinases, 2020, UNC Libraries
  • A Role for P21-Activated Kinase in Endothelial Cell Migration, 2021, UNC Libraries

Bokoch collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including:

  • Jörg Birkenfeld
  • Perihan Nalbant
  • Benjamin P. Bohl
  • Olivier Pertz
  • Klaus M. Hahn

The main topic across their research was microtubule and mitosis dynamics. Their specialized subfield was cell biology.
