Biography
Simon C W Richardson is a Founder, Director and CSO at Intracellular Delivery Solutions Ltd, and Reader (Associate Professor) in Membrane Trafficking and Drug Delivery, at the University of Greenwich, UK. The driving theme behind his research is the intracellular delivery of antisense and RNAi to the cytosol. He is currently leading the Cell Biology Research Cluster within the Faculty of Engineering and Science, located at the Medway campus. His lab is currently working with several technologies based upon attenuated virulence factors that have very low in vitro toxicity profiles (and are minimally disruptive to the cell), and very high efficiency intracellular delivery profiles. We are also examining several methodologies to modulate protein stability and intracellular trafficking to aid the oral delivery of vaccines.
