About Alan Herbert
Discoveries in Z-DNA Biology, RNA Editing and the Encoding of Genetic Information by Flipons. Advances in Immunology based on Contextual Cell Death and the Regulation of Anti-Tumor Responses by Complement-mediated control of Immune Synapse Formation.At InsideOutBio, my focus as founder and head of discovery is on translating the power of human genetics to therapeutics. We have developed a novel therapeutic for the induction of anti-tumor responses. Our approach exploits the genetics of the complement system. and pioneers the targeting of the Complement C3 Checkpoint. We have been able to quickly move from concept to proof of mechanism and produce tumor regression in our preclinical models. All of this was done at low cost with the goal of moving safely to the clinic as fast as we can. InsideOutBio has also contributed to our understanding of the role of RNA editing in cancer. Data gathered by many investigators examining families with certain Mendelian diseases provided evidence for a role of the left-handed Z-DNA conformation in regulating interferon responses essential to anti-tumor immunity. The work supports the targeting of Z-DNA binding proteins and RNA editing as a new therapeutic approach to treating cancer. While cancer biology traditionally focuses on mutations to codons, our interest is on the role of flipons in tumor biology. Flipons consist of sequences that encode alternative DNA conformations like Z-DNA. They allow the compilation of different RNA transcripts from the same DNA sequence. Besides cancer, they play a role in many other diseases.
Listed skills include Drug Discovery, Genetics And Genomics, Bioinformatics, Human Immunology, and 35 others.

Associate Principal Scientist Human Genetics And Pharmacogenetics
While at Merck Research Laboratories, I developed a novel Bioinformatic Algorithm to analyze the Moffat Cancer Center Collection of 10,000 Tumor-Derived MicroArrays that lead to the initiation of a novel Checkpoint Inhibitor Program. Another company, Calithera, recently published validation of the target IL4I1 in synergy with a checkpoint inhibitor using a pre-clinical melanoma model. Other work in target identification and validation in immunology and immuno-oncology was also performed at Merck in support of other programs that are still ongoing.1.

Associate Professor
The work I initiated at Boston University was the first Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) in a human population based on data collected by the Framingham Heart Study. New methods based on the family structure provided a solution to the multiple testing problem arising from the use of hundreds of polymorphic markers in this approach. This work provided initial validation of the GWAS approach.1. Herbert A. The fat tail of obesity as told by the genome. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2008;11(4):366-70.

My work on Z-DNA lead to the identification of the RNA editing enzyme as the first high affinity binding protein for the left-handed conformation. Mapping of mutations to the Z-DNA binding domain to diseases using Mendelian Genetics established a role for Z-DNA in biology and support for the flipon concept describing the encoding of genetic information in DNA structure rather than just sequence. The role of ADAR based on the Z-DNA dependent regulation of type I interferon responses has opened up a new paradigm for cancer treatment, orthogonal to those based on codon mutations. This work has advanced our basic understanding of the different ways DNA encodes genetic information and to the clinical application of this new biology.1. Herbert A.
