Overview

John R. Riordan is affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the field of Medicine, with particular attention to Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine as well as Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, and related subfields.

The main topics covered in their work include:

  • Cystic Fibrosis Research Advances
  • Renal cell carcinoma treatment
  • Multiple and Secondary Primary Cancers
  • Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Advances
  • Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery
  • Pharmaceutical studies and practices
  • Material Properties and Processing

Riordan has contributed notably to research surrounding the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), exploring its structure, regulation, and trafficking. Key recent publications include:

  • "Multiple Membrane-Cytoplasmic Domain Contacts in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) Mediate Regulation of Channel Gating," 2020, UNC Libraries
  • "The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR): THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE AND LOCALIZATION OF A CHANNEL GATE," 2020, UNC Libraries
  • "Chemical and Biological Folding Contribute to Temperature-Sensitive ΔF508 CFTR Trafficking," 2020, UNC Libraries
  • "Triple Threat: Three Primary Malignancies Simultaneously Involving Three Genitourinary Organs," 2023, Case Reports in Urology
  • "Computational Studies Reveal Phosphorylation-dependent Changes in the Unstructured R Domain of CFTR," 2020, UNC Libraries

These publications illustrate a consistent emphasis on molecular mechanisms and disease applications, particularly related to pulmonary function and cancer research.

Their frequent coauthors include:

  • Andrei A. Aleksandrov
  • Luba A. Aleksandrov
  • Nikolay V. Dokholyan
  • Lihua He
  • Martina Gentzsch

Riordan's work is often disseminated through the following venues:

  • UNC Libraries
  • Case Reports in Urology
  • OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
  • FEBS Letters

In 1990, John R. Riordan received the Canada Gairdner International Award.
