Leonard Rome is a Professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry at UCLA and serves as the Director of the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center Strategic Planning Partnerships. In addition, he is the Associate Director of the California NanoSystems Institute. His research focuses on vaults, which are highly-conserved subcellular particles found in higher eukaryotic cells. Vaults are known to be involved in multi-drug resistance in cancer cells, and his work has implications for improving cancer treatment by depleting vault content to prevent resistance. Rome has made significant contributions to the understanding of vaults and their role in drug delivery and immunity, as evidenced by several highlighted publications including work on engineered vaults for drug delivery and the development of vault nanoparticles for vaccine applications.
