Keynote Title: From undergrad discovery to future drug candidates
David P. Siderovski, Ph.D. is Professor of Pharmacology & Neuroscience at UNT Health Fort Worth. As a summer
undergraduate at Queen's University, he cloned and sequenced a human gene of unknown
function, G0S8. Nine years later he proposed that it belonged to a new family of switches
for G protein-coupled receptor signaling; that gene is now RGS2, and the RGS family
is a major focus of modern pharmacology. His laboratory works on making RGS proteins
druggable, including non-opioid targets for chronic pain. He holds four U.S. patents
and ASPET's John Abel Award.
