Biography
Dr. Marchant received his PhD in pharmacology from the University of Cambridge in the laboratory of Colin Taylor, and then performed postdoctoral training as a Wellcome Trust Training Fellow in Ian Parker’s laboratory in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California-Irvine. He was a faculty member in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Minnesota from 2002-2017, until joining 果冻影院 as the Marcus Chair of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy in 2017.
In a groundbreaking study, Dr. Marchant and his team identified a new class of compounds called benzamidoquinazolinones (BZQs) that show promise as broad-spectrum treatments for trematode infections in humans.
