Biography

David Sept is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the molecular interactions that underlie cell migration, which are central to aspects of development and differentiation as well as cellular responses to diseases such as cancer. His lab is engaged in characterizing the development of drugs aimed at targeting sub-cellular filaments to treat parasitic diseases, including toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis, and malaria. Another significant area of his research involves the channels that regulate the flow of ions into cells. These channels, if malfunctioning, can lead to diseases such as epilepsy. Additionally, his final research area explores nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems, particularly investigating combinations of drug particles that are metabolized and distributed throughout the body.
