Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Ryan M. Allen's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism and the role of microRNAs in regulating gene expression. His work has focused on the microRNA miR-33, examining its functions in controlling cholesterol transport, biliary transporters, and its involvement in statin-induced hepatotoxicity. Allen has also explored the broader implications of miR-33 in regulating cell proliferation and progression through the cell cycle. His research extends to the study of extracellular vesicles, specifically their biogenesis and the role of proteins like VAP-A in RNA-containing vesicle formation.
Further investigations by Allen include the analysis of small RNAs on lipoproteins and the regulation of pulmonary surfactant metabolism by ABCG1 in both mice and humans. He has also been funded by the NIH/National Cancer Institute as PI for research into the canonical and alternative functions of low-density lipoprotein in multiple myeloma. With a career h-index of 20 and over 2,300 citations across 58 publications, Allen is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
