Ian Read Gibbons, FRS (30 October 1931 – 30 January 2018) was a biophysicist and cell biologist. He discovered and named dynein, and demonstrated energy source as ATP is sufficient for dynein to walk on microtubules. In 2017, he and Ronald Vale received the Shaw Prize for their research on microtubule motor proteins.
Ian Gibbons (March 6, 1946 – May 23, 2013) was a British biochemist and molecular biology researcher who served as the chief scientist of the US company Theranos, which was founded by Elizabeth Holmes. For more than 30 years, Gibbons performed research in medical therapeutics and diagnostic testing prior to joining Theranos in 2005.
Mar 20, 2019 · Ian Read Gibbons is best known for discovering dynein, a molecular motor that powers the motion of cilia and flagella, is involved in assembling the mitotic spindle and moves chromosomes as well as other cargoes inside cells.

Ian R Gibbons (1931 - 2018) Ian R Gibbons was born in 1931 in Hastings, Sussex, UK and is currently Visiting Researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He obtained his BA degree in Physics in 1954 and his PhD in 1957 from the University of Cambridge, UK.
By 2005, after I had retired from Hawaii and was working part-time at the University of California Berkeley, my lab had designed and synthesized multiple stabilized forms of dynein’s microtubule-binding domain with different binding affinities for microtubules, some of which yielded well-diffracting protein crystals.
