Dr Kathie Seley-Radtke | Professor Chemistry & Biochemistry
University of Maryland Baltimore County

Dr. Kathie Seley-Radtke is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her medicinal chemistry research focuses on targeting coronaviruses, filoviruses, flaviviruses among other infectious diseases, using her novel “fleximer” nucleoside/tide scaffolds. The fleximers have shown potent, broad-spectrum activity across many families of viruses and due to their flexibility, can retain their potency when confronted with binding site point mutations. Dr. Seley-Radtke is currently the President of the International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR), as well as a past President for the International Society for Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids (IS3NA), Editor in Chief of Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, and Associate Editor of Science Advances/AAAS and Antiviral Chemistry & Chemotherapy.
