I am Steven (Steev) C. Sutton, an Associate Professor in the School of Pharmacy. I received my B.S. in Pharmacy from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the State University of New York at Buffalo, New York and am a Fellow of both the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the American Association of Veterinary Pharmacology & Therapeutics. I began my career in the pharmaceutical industry working for CIBA-Geigy in Ardsley, NY (now Novartis), for INTERx in Lawrence, KS (then a part of Merck), and for Pfizer in Groton, CT, before embarking in a second career at the University of New England as a founding faculty at the College of Pharmacy in Portland in 2009. In the Department of Pharmaceutical, Administrative & Social Sciences at the School of Pharmacy (SoP), I teach Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacogenomics and I am developing an elective on Toxicity. My recent research interest is in determining the impact of food contaminants (eg plastic nanoparticles) on the gastrointestinal immune system and microbiome. Dr Sutton has authored over 120 book peer-reviewed papers, chapters, abstracts of work in progress, invited presentations and patents.
