About Pradeep Chaluvally-Raghavan
Dr. Chaluvally Raghavan is a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), Milwaukee. His lab is actively researching how RNA Binding Proteins (RBP) contribute to phase separation in cancer cells, stromal cells, and immune cells. The overarching goal of his lab is to characterize the cooperative oncogenesis orchestrated through RBPs for cancer progression. He is interested in developing and validating agents that abolish cooperative oncogenesis by inhibiting the actions of RBPs and their targets. His team is also testing how single-cell genomic technologies can serve as devices for efficient target identification and drug development for cancer therapy.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key drivers of cancer but remain largely undruggable. Using nanoparticle-delivered LNA-siRNA, we achieved selective inhibition of FXR1, demonstrating the feasibility of precision RBP targeting in preclinical cancer models.
