About
Dr. Anthony Convertine joined Missouri S&T as Roberta and G. Robert Couch Assistant Professor in the department of Materials Science and Engineering August 2018. He is a PhD Polymer Chemist with expertise in polymer synthesis / characterization and drug delivery. Dr. Convertine received a PhD in Polymer Science and Engineering from the University of Southern Mississippi.
Dr. Convertine previously was Research Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington, where they were inventing the future of medicine by developing powerful new delivery technologies that will for the first time enable the realization of therapies based on intracellularly active biologic drugs. These agents have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of serious diseases such as cancer and antibiotic resistant bacteria while minimizing harmful side effects.
