Educational History

Practice/Research Interests
I teach the fundamental principles of medicinal chemistry, toxicology, and natural products. In the classroom, I enjoy finding creative ways to relate chemical structure to drug action in order to foster an engaging yet rigorous learning environment for my students. In the lab, my research is focused on projects that utilize comparative approaches to identify pathways critical to either propagating or preventing hepatotoxicity. Projects currently underway include mechanistic studies exploring the effects of acetaminophen, herbicides, and natural products on liver health.
You can learn more about Dr. Stamper at his NCBI Bibliography, his ResearchGate profile, and the PharmSongs Vimeo channel.
Outside the Classroom
When I'm not in the classroom or research lab, you might find me skiing on Crystal Mountain, kicking a soccer ball around, or playing guitar under the trees in my backyard.
