Kathleen M. Giacomini, Ph.D.
Kathy Giacomini, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, is a leader in the field of membrane transporters with a focus on genetic polymorphisms. She cloned, characterized and discovered the endogenous role of the human xenobiotic transporter, OCT1 (SLC22A1), and recently de-orphaned SLC22A24 and SLC22A15, discovering physiologic and pharmacologic substrates of both transporters. Together with others, she co-founded the International Transporter Consortium, which has published highly impactful papers informing regulatory policy. She is the Co-Principal Investigator of the UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Sciences and Innovation, funded by the Food and Drug Administration. She has received numerous awards including an honorary doctorate degree from Uppsala University, and is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine.
