Medicinal Chemistry Expert and Educator at Davidson College
Dr. Erland Stevens is a distinguished faculty member in the Chemistry department at Davidson College, bringing a wealth of experience in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery to his role. After earning his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1997, specializing in nitrogen heterocycles under Will Pearson, Stevens pursued postdoctoral studies at The Scripps Research Institute with K. Barry Sharpless. Joining Davidson College in 1998, he has since become a cornerstone of the chemistry program, regularly teaching medicinal chemistry to junior and senior undergraduates. Stevens' expertise extends beyond academia, as evidenced by his involvement in the continuing education program at GlaxoSmithKline's Research Triangle Park site in 2006 and 2007. His contributions to the field include authoring the textbook "Medicinal Chemistry: The Modern Drug Discovery Process," published by Pearson Education, which has likely become a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field. Stevens' research focuses on the synthesis and activity of antiviral nucleoside analogues, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to advancing pharmaceutical science. His career exemplifies the integration of academic research, industry relevance, and dedicated teaching in the field of medicinal chemistry.
