Research Profile

Dr. Schmittgen’s research focuses on noncoding RNAs and cancer with emphasis on the use of microRNAs as therapeutic or diagnostic agents. A paper he co-authored in 2001 describing the relative method of gene quantification has been cited over 105,000 times and was ranked in 2014 by the international journal Nature as the 21st most cited scientific article of all time. Dr. Schmittgen has been continuously funded by federal agencies (NIH, DOD) for the past 20 years. His lab was the first to establish a link between altered microRNA expression in pancreatic cancer. Dr. Schmittgen’s lab is currently developing exosomes/microvesicles as targeted drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer. Dr. Schmittgen is a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, American Association for the Advancement of Science and is a Fellow of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.
