Stephen Warren

Stephen Warren is an Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Gonzaga University in the College of Arts and Sciences. With a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from the State University of New York at Buffalo (1996), he teaches courses ranging from foundational General Chemistry to advanced Chemical Bibliography and Thesis supervision. His research spans drug discovery, enzyme inhibition, and fluorine chemistry, often involving undergraduate students in collaborative investigations.

Warren’s scholarly output includes innovative work on:

• Protein-ligand structure databases (e.g., Iridium)
• Allosteric site inhibitors for β-carbonic anhydrase
• Fluorinated molecule synthesis
• p38 MAP kinase targeting compounds
• Polymorphic chalcone characterization

He has secured grants from the National Science Foundation and Washington Technology Center for projects like nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems and lactate analog development. His Google Scholar profile reflects ongoing contributions to crystallography and structural analysis of bioactive compounds.
