Niren Murthy is a professor of bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley. [1] His laboratory is focussed on the development of new materials for drug delivery and molecular imaging. [1]
Murthy began his career at Georgia Tech in 2003 and moved to U.C. Berkeley in 2012.[ citation needed] He did postdoctoral research in the Chemistry department at U.C. Berkeley from 2001-2003 and received a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Washington, Seattle in 2001.[ citation needed] He was an assistant professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, in Biomedical Engineering from 2003-2012. [2]
Murthy is a co-founder and scientific advisor for Genedit Inc., the inventor of CRISPR-Gold and the scientific co-founder of Microbial Medical. [3] [4] In addition, BioAmp Diagnostics originated from technology developed in the Murthy laboratory. [4] Dr. Murthy was a recipient of the NSF Career award in 2006 and won the Society for Biomaterials Young Investigator in 2009. [1] [5]
Murthy’s laboratory focus on the development of molecular imaging and materials for drug delivery. [3] The laboratory has developed new biomaterials and imaging agents, which are designed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.[ citation needed] Murthy laboratory has also developed reagents for detecting radical oxidants, like the hydrocyanines. [5]
The Murthy laboratory has been recently focussed on developing gene editing delivery vehicles and developed CRISPR-Gold in 2017, which was a delivery vehicle that could induce homology-directed DNA repair. [3] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
Several new biomaterials and start-up companies have originated from the Murthy laboratory. [4] The hydrocyanines were developed in the Murthy lab in 2009, and are now one of the most commonly used classes of ROS imaging probes. [4] Hydrocyanines were licensed by Life Technologies and LI-COR Biosciences, and are sold under the trade-names Cell-Rox and ROSSTAR. [4]
