    He spent 32 years on faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a faculty member studying the cytoskeleton, becoming a professor in 1968 and chair of Molecular Biology from 1980 to 2000. In 2000, he moved to Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine where he was the Leslie B.

    Borisy was President of the American Society for Cell Biology in 2011 and is a recipient of numerous awards including an NIH MERIT Award, the Carl Zeiss Award from the German Society for Cell Biology, and the Distinguished Alumni Award of the University of Chicago. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[6]
