Research & Scholarly Interests
Dr. Brendan Frett received his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with an emphasis in Drug Discovery and Development from the University of Arizona in 2014. He received postdoctoral training in Medicinal Chemistry as well as Pharmaceutics at the University of Arizona. Dr. Frett has successfully transferred academic-based discoveries to pharmaceutical companies for clinical development. He is interested in pursuing translational research projects, where research completed in his laboratory can directly help patients.
Dr. Frett’s research is focused on small molecule drug design and developing enabling chemical methodologies to expedite the drug discovery process. In particular, he is interested in identifying single-agent therapies capable of controlling multiple, dysregulated pathways in cancer.
Students and postdoctoral researchers interested in working in Dr. Frett’s laboratory are encouraged to contact Dr. Frett.
