About J. Silvio Gutkind
"Dr. Gutkind is a Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, and Associate Director for Basic Science at the Moores Cancer Center, University of California San Diego (UCSD). He served as Branch Chief at NIDCR, NIH, since 1998 until his recruitment to UCSD in 2015. His research team has pioneered the study of G proteins and G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in human malignancies. He is exploiting the emerging information on dysregulated signaling circuitries and individual genomic and molecular alterations to develop new precision cancer treatments, and to identify novel multimodal strategies to enhance the response to cancer immunotherapies."
