Dr. William B. Parker is a Senior Research Scientist at Southern Research Institute in Birmingham, Alabama. He obtained a Ph.D. in Pharmacology in 1984 from George Washington University and has since concentrated his research efforts on understanding the mechanism of action of nucleoside analogs used in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Since 1989 his research has been funded by eight investigator-initiated research grants from the National Institutes of Health. This work has led to a total of 44 publications in peer-reviewed journals, two book chapters, and three patents. In addition to grant based research, Dr. Parker also contracts with pharmaceutical companies to aid them in their research efforts. He is on the editorial advisory board of Biochemical Pharmacology and is frequently asked to serve on peer review panels for the National Institutes of Health to review grant applications that involve research into the development of new anti-AIDS and anti-cancer drugs. Through these efforts Dr. Parker has gained world-wide recognition as an expert on the development of nucleoside analogs for the treatment of cancer and viral infections. |
