Description of Other Expertise

Dr. O'Malley has served as PI on three NIH RO1s and an R29 (FIRST) award as well as numerous industry and foundation grants. He is pioneering the use of molecular therapies to enhance the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy and radiation while reducing the known toxicities of these treatments. In addition, he is investigating novel combinations of stem cells and biomatrices for tissue defect reconstruction. He is currently Co-PI of the NIH-funded Penn Multidisciplinary Consortium: Personalized Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Tissue Regeneration.
