Speaker

Steven F. Dowdy, Ph.D., is a Professor of Cellular & Molecular Medicine at UCSD School of Medicine. His early research focused on understanding the molecular basis of G1 cell cycle deregulation during oncogenesis by RB, p16 and cyclin:Cdk complexes. Concurrently, his lab focused on the intracellular delivery of macromolecular therapeutics, including siRNAs, ASOs, peptides and proteins, to ultimately treat cancer. His work over the last 10+ years has focused on developing new chemistry to tackle the rate-limiting endosomal escape problem that plagues intracellular delivery of all macromolecular therapeutics, especially RNAs.
