Brendan D. Stamper

Brendan D. Stamper, PhD, serves as Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor at Pacific University, where he teaches core pharmacy curriculum including medicinal chemistry, toxicology, and natural products. His pedagogical philosophy emphasizes creative integration of chemical structures with drug mechanisms to cultivate dynamic classroom engagement.

His academic credentials include:

• Postdoctoral Fellowship, Seattle Children’s Research Institute (2012)
• PhD in Medicinal Chemistry, University of Washington (2010)
• BS in Chemistry and BS in Combined Sciences, Santa Clara University (2002)

Dr. Stamper's research employs comparative computational approaches to map hepatotoxicity pathways, bridging medicinal chemistry with predictive toxicology. This work targets critical biological mechanisms in drug-induced liver injury, contributing to pharmaceutical safety frameworks through in silico modeling rather than wet-lab experimentation.

Professional affiliations span Pacific University's current faculty role and prior postdoctoral work at Seattle Children’s Research Institute. His scholarly output is accessible via NCBI and ResearchGate profiles, complemented by educational content on the PharmSongs Vimeo channel.
