Hood started his career as a Director of Research at TargeGen Inc .[3] He was the co-founder and chief scientific officer of Samumed, a private biopharmaceutical company.[4] Now, he is Board Chairman and Co-founder at Endeavor Biomedicines.[5][6][7]

Research

[edit]

Hood did research on the development of TG101348 for the treatment of JAK2-driven malignancies and found that TG101348 blocked proliferation and colony formation in vitro against cultured and patient-derived cells bearing the JAK2v617F mutations.[8] He also conducted research on tumor regression by targeted gene delivery to the Neovasculature.[9]

Patents

[edit]

Hood's patents include[10][11] 3-(1H-imidazo[4,5-C]pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-B]pyridine and therapeutic uses thereof (US9889140B2),[12] Indazole-3-carboxamides and their use as Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway inhibitors (US9802916B2),[13] Indazole inhibitors of the Wnt signal pathway and therapeutic uses thereof (US9763927B2),[14] β- and γ-diketones and γ-hydroxy ketones as WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway activators (US9884053B2),[15] and 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-B]pyridines and therapeutic uses thereof (US9855272B2)[16]
