About Us

Terri Stoner, Ph.D. has been focused for more than a decade on understanding the importance of various significant human pathogens whether bacterial or viruses, understanding their microbial replication and host cellular factors that they use in order to replicate, novel drug development, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, toxicity studies of current and experimental antimicrobial drugs and/or investigating cell signaling pathways of drugs being investigated. Since 1993, she has been involved in microbiology, immunology, chemistry, neuropharmacology and pharmacology programs.  This includes working in a research teaching hospital, molecular and biological research center, testing of novel and current antivirals and having a working relationship with Royalmount pharmaceutical company to further develop promising new antimicrobials.  She worked in these laboratories either as a research associate, co-investigator or principal investigator/author.  This work led to clinical trials of a novel anti-herpetic compound and development of another promising novel compound against herpes viruses that do not target the virus’s genetic material, but targets specific host cell cycle factors, inhibits viral replication and does not cause microbial drug resistance.  These two novel compounds have been patented one of which she received national and international Press Releases of her research. For example, Webmd, Akron Beacon Journal, Houston Chronicle, Shape magazine to name a few.
