Robert Wallace Malone is an American virologist and immunologist.
Early life and education
Robert Wallace Malone graduated from the University of California Davis and went on to receive his MD from Northwestern University.
Career
In the 1980s, while a researcher at the Salk Institute, Malone conducted studies on messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology, discovering that it was possible to transfer mRNA protected by a liposome into cultured cells to signal the information needed for the production of proteins. Some have credited Malone as the inventor of mRNA technology, though, others have disputed the accuracy of that claim or given credit for the distinction to later advancements by Katalin Karikó or Derrick Rossi.
Until 2020, Malone was chief medical officer at Alchem Laboratories, a Florida pharmaceutical company. He was previously director of clinical affairs for Avancer Group, a member of the scientific advisory board of Epivax, assistant professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore school of medicine, and an adjunct associate professor of biotechnology at Kennesaw State University.
Malone was selected as one of five guest editors for a 2021 issue of Frontiers in Pharmacology titled "Treating COVID-19 with Currently Available Drugs". Along with three of the other guest editors, Malone resigned in protest after Frontiers Media SA, the journal's publisher, pulled several articles that had passed peer review.
