Dr. Denton obtained his BS degree in chemistry from Central Washington University and a PhD in chemistry from the University of Montana. Dr Denton performed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Human BioMolecular Research Institute in San Diego, CA, followed by a second postdoctoral fellowship at the Shafizadeh Rocky Mountain Center for Wood and Carbohydrate Chemistry at the University of Montana. He then moved on to become an Assistant Professor of chemistry at Eastern Washington University where he taught organic chemistry and performed medicinal chemistry research. Currently, Dr. Denton is an Assistant Professor at Washington State University Health Sciences Spokane in the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Dr. Denton is an inaugural fellow in the Steve Gleason Institute for Neuroscience at Washington State University and is an affiliate Assistant Professor in the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine at WSU Health Sciences Spokane. Dr. Denton leads medicinal chemistry/molecular biology efforts in the fields of glutamine addicted cancers, modulation of free radical biology at the level of the TCA cycle, development of small molecules for the treatment of neurological disorders, design and synthesis of small molecule inhibitors of CYP2A6 as smoking cessation agents, and preparation of carbohydrate-based polyhydroxypolyamides (polymers) for biomedical applications.

Dr. Cooper obtained BSc (chemistry and zoology) and DSc (biochemistry) degrees from London University, an MSc degree (Biochemistry) from Imperial College, a PhD degree (biochemistry) from Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) and a postdoctoral fellowship at Brandeis University (biochemistry). He has held professorships at WCM and New York Medical College (NYMC). He is currently Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at NYMC and an Adjunct Professor at WCM.
