Rate My Professor Laura Gumy

Gumy's scholarly output includes publications in prestigious journals, reflecting her impact in neurobiology and cellular neuroscience. Key works encompass 'A functional role for septin-2 in the maintenance of the axon initial segment and in human cognitive development' (Brain, 2025; Weiss et al.), 'Type III CRISPR-Cas provides resistance against nucleus-forming jumbo phages via abortive infection' (Molecular Cell, 2022; Mayo-Muñoz et al.), 'MAP2 Defines a Pre-axonal Filtering Zone to Regulate KIF1- versus KIF5-Dependent Cargo Transport in Sensory Neurons' (2017), 'Local mechanisms regulating selective cargo entry and long-range trafficking in axons' (2018), and 'The Kinesin-2 Family Member KIF3C Regulates Microtubule Dynamics and Is Required for Axon Growth and Regeneration' (2013). Her research has accumulated over 1,850 citations. Gumy has presented findings, such as 'Visualising transport in neurons' at the Advances in Microscopy Satellite Meeting (Queenstown, 2022). She chairs the Confocal Microscopy User Group in the Otago Microscopy and Imaging (OMNI) facility, supports collaborative Health Research Council-funded projects in genetics, and delivers teaching modules on cytoskeleton and intracellular transport in courses like ANAT335 Neurobiology.
