Paula Cannon is a British geneticist and virologist, Distinguished Professor of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Southern California.[1] She is a specialist in gene therapy, hematopoietic stem cells, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with particular interest in gene editing and humanized mice.
Personal life and education
[edit]She received her PhD from the University of Liverpool, and postdoctoral training at both Oxford and Harvard[1]
Academic career
[edit]Cannon's recent work is aimed at disrupting the CCR viral co-receptor, CCR5, using zinc finger nucleases(ZFNs). She also studies SARS-CoV-2 and highly pathogenic hemorrhagic fever viruses, including Ebola and Lassa fever viruses.[1]
