Description: A discussion on recent progress made to determine the molecular architecture and evolutionary origin of the nuclear pore complex, and how results indicate the mechanism whereby the nuclear pore complex mediates nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.

Michael Rout is a PECASE recipient, a Rita Allen Foundation Scholar, a recipient of an Irma T. Hirschl Career Scientist Award, and Associate Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Cellular and Structural Biology at the Rockefeller University. He obtained his Ph.D. at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and the University of Cambridge in 1989, and then joined Gunter Blobelís' laboratory at Rockefeller University for post-doctoral studies. During his Ph.D. he isolated the spindle organizer from yeast, and building on this expertise isolated the yeast nuclear pore complex in Blobelís' laboratory
