Marvin Bentley

Assistant Professor

Dr. Bentley received his Ph.D. in 2010 in the laboratory of Jesse Hay at the University of Montana where he developed assays to monitor endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi transport in mammalian cells. He then completed a postdoc with Gary Banker at the Oregon Health & Science University, where he designed assays to determine kinesin–vesicle interactions in cultured hippocampal neurons by live-cell imaging. He joined the faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the summer of 2017. The Bentley lab uses a variety of cell biological approaches to understand the mechanisms that underlie intracellular vesicle transport in neurons.
