Grant Blackmon

A molecular biologist in an academic gene therapy program in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Grant Blackmon develops viral vectors and engineered RNA payloads for targeted gene delivery. During his postdoctoral fellowship, he investigated lipid delivery platforms and recombinant viral systems to carry therapeutic genetic material into tissue. His current laboratory work centers on refining expression cassettes and evaluating how modified transcripts behave inside mammalian cells. Blackmon received a BS in Biology from Miami University and finished a PhD in Molecular Genetics at the Medical University of South Carolina.
