Dr. McNally received his Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of Chicago in the lab of Hewson Swift and Jack Cowan. He pursued postdoctoral studies with Ted Cox at Princeton University. He has developed image processing and deconvolution techniques for quantitative analysis of 3D cell locomotion within a living tissue, and applied these methods to identify roles for myosin II in amoeboid cell motion. Dr. McNally is Imaging Director in the Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression, where his program interests currently include amoeboid cell locomotion as well as the mechanisms of glucocorticoid translocation into the nucleus.
