Don L. Warner, Ph.D.

What courses would you recommend students have taken prior to working in your laboratory? 

• General Chemistry

How many hours per week do you expect a student to spend in the laboratory per research credit and does the time have to be a set schedule?

• 10 hours per week, per credit. The student’s schedule can be flexible, however once the student chooses their schedule, it is set for the semester.

Ideally, for what length of time would a student research in your laboratory to achieve a meaningful research experience?

• 3 – 4 semesters

2002: Ph.D. – Chemistry | University of Michigan

1998: M.S. – Chemistry | University of Wisconsin

1995: B.S. | University of Utah

Recently, our research interests have focused on the topics listed below:

• Synthesis of Small Molecules for Inhibition of Pro-Metastatic Cytokines
• Synthesis of Cytotoxic Anticancer Agents
• Mechanistic Studies of and Related to Anticancer Agents
• Impact of Research Experiences on Student Learning
