Voices in Molecular Pharmaceutics: Meet Professor Owen S. Fenton, Designer of Lipid Nanoparticles for Messenger RNA Delivery

CURRENT ROLE I am an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In my role, I am the principal investigator of a drug delivery research laboratory comprising a team of postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. students, and undergraduate students. In my role, I also teach formal course work in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy PharmD curriculum and the UNC Division of Pharmacoengineering and Molecular Pharmaceutics Ph.D. curriculum. My role is dynamic, engaging, and fun, allowing me and my research team to study and develop mRNA medicines to treat and prevent disease.
