Steven C. Sutton, B.S. Pharmacy, Ph.D., FAAPS
Location
Hi! I am Dr. Steven 'Steev' C. Sutton. I earned my B.S. Pharmacy Cum Laude from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, Boston, where I was inducted into Rho Chi. I worked as a retail pharmacist in Harvard Square and Lowell, MA for about a year before returning to school. I met the love of my life in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, State University of New York at Buffalo. About the same time I earned my Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, our first son was born, and I joined the General Pharmaceutics Group, CIBA-Geigy (now Novartis). A little later, we had our second son, and we moved to Lawrence, KS (go Jayhawks!) and worked at INTERx Research Corporation (founded by Takeru Higuchi, the 'father of physical pharmacy', and a subsidiary of Merck & Co). Soon after our daughter was born we moved back to New England and I joined Pfizer Labs in Groton, CT in what was then called the Pharmaceutical R&D Department. In 2009, I became an inaugural faculty at the College of Pharmacy at the 成人直播, Portland, Maine. My personal interests include hiking, fine woodworking and gardening.
