Donald E. Ingber Biography

Donald E. Ingber is one of the most popular and richest Biologist who was born on May 1, 1956 in East Meadow, New York, United States.

Ingber grew up in East Meadow, New York. He received a combined B.A./M.A. in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale College and Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1977; an M.Phil. in cell biology from Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1981; and a combined M.D./Ph.D. from Yale School of Medicine and Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1984. At Yale, he carried out undergraduate research on DNA repair with Paul Howard- Flanders, and on cancer metastasis with Alan Sartorelli.

Ingber’s work on tensegrity led him to propose that mechanical forces play as important a role in biological control as chemicals and genes do, and to investigate the molecular mechanism by which cells convert mechanical signals into changes in intracellular biochemistry and gene expression, a process known as “mechanotransduction.” Ingber determined that living cells use tensegrity architecture to stabilize their shape and cytoskeleton, that cellular integrins function as mechanosensors on the cell surface, and that cytoskeletal tension (or “prestress,” which is central to the stability of tensegrity structures) is a fundamental regulator of many cellular responses to mechanical cues. Ingber’s tensegrity theory also led to the prediction in the early 1980s that changes in extracellular matrix structure and mechanics play a fundamental role in tissue and organ development, and that deregulation of this form of developmental control can promote cancer formation.
