M. Sean Grady is the former Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania. He has published over 200 research articles.^[1]

In 2013, Grady removed Katalin Karikó from her lab space in the Department of Neurosurgery: "In 2013, Karikó said she returned to her lab after spending time away to find all of her belongings having been packed, moved, and misplaced at Grady's direction."^[2] Grady claimed that the University of Pennsylvania measures value in terms of grant funding above all else; he told her: "Penn has that dollars-per-square-foot cost requirement for lab space, and you have not come close to meeting it." ^[3] Karikó then retired from Penn, but later won the 2023 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the research she did there on mRNA vaccines.
