DESCRIPTION:SEMINAR SPEAKER: Dr. Tim Stowe\, Cavalry Biosciences\n TITLE: E
 ngineering Growth Factors for Targeted Therapeutics ABSTRACT: Growth factor
 s are powerful secreted signaling proteins that play an important role in d
 evelopment\, aging\, and disease. While growth factors have broad therapeut
 ic potential\, their development is limited by widespread expression of cog
 nate receptors and lack of tissue selectivity. Cavalry Biosciences uses pro
 tein engineering to build tissue selective growth factors with pharmacology
  selectively tuned for specific indications.  The platform has given rise t
 o programs in Orphan Growth Disorders\, Dry Eye Disease associated with Mei
 bomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)\, Muscular Dystrophies\, and Atherosclerosis
 .  Cavalry is planning to progress the Dry Eye and Growth Disorder programs
  into clinical development in 2024. BIO: Tim currently serves as Senior Vic
 e President of research at Cavalry Biosciences\, a San Francisco-based drug
  discovery startup he co-founded in 2021. Tim graduated from Hope College w
 ith a BS in Biology in 2003 and went on to earn his PhD in Cancer Biology f
 rom Stanford University in 2011\, where he studied the role of the microtub
 ule cytoskeleton and primary cilium in cell signaling. After a brief postdo
 c at UCSF working on neurodevelopment and epilepsy\, Tim transitioned to th
 e biotechnology industry. Over the past 10 years\, he has been working at s
 tartups in the Bay Area including Silver Creek Pharmaceuticals\, Unity Biot
 echnology\, and Encoded Therapeutics. He lives in South San Francisco with 
 his wife and daughter.
