   Gaudenz Danuser is an associate professor at the Scripps Research Institute's cell-biology department in La Jolla, California. But he is not a cell biologist - Danuser was formally trained as an engineer. In the past, when he jointly applied for funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study mathematical modelling of cellular processes via the agency's standard R01 grant, Danuser would have to come to an agreement with his cell-biologist collaborator, as only one could lead the grant. But a new programme at the NIH has made his task easier and potentially more professionally rewarding. The NIH has set up a multiple principal investigator (PI) grant, which means that Danuser can get official recognition for his efforts. Previously, he says, "I was at the mercy of my friends to give me the money."

   Danuser and his collaborator Peter Sorger, a systems biologist at Harvard University, are two of the first recipients of a multi-PI grant.

   "I don't think you can force collaboration top-down by having grant mechanisms," says Danuser.

   Gaudenz Danuser graduated in 1997 with a Ph.D. in Computer Vision from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He then joined the Program for the Architectural Dynamics in Living Cells at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, where he worked under Dr. Shinya Inoué on the development of image analysis methods for high resolution measurements of cytoskeleton dynamics. He returned to ETH Zurich in summer 1999 where founded the BioMicroMetrics Group whose mission was to develop quantitative light microscopy and biophysical models of cell dynamical processes to support research in cytoskeleton biology and biotechnological applications such as cell-based drug screening, sensing and biomaterial design. Since August 2003 Gaudenz Danuser has been with The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla where he directs the Laboratory for Computational Cell Biology. His new team works on computational methods for quantitative, high resolution microscopy and multi-scale models to study the action of complex, multifunctional molecular machinery in the context of live cells. Gaudenz Danuser is a member of IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society, the Royal Microscopical Society, the Biophysical Society, and the American Society for Cell Biology. He is also a member of the Whitaker Institute of Bioengineering at the UCSD. His work has been recognized by several awards and honors, particularly his efforts in combining cell biology with engineering and computer science approaches.
