Biography
Dr. Thompson received a chemistry UG degree from Rutgers University, and M.S./PhD degrees (1980/1982) in organic chemistry from The University of California, Riverside. Following postdoctoral appointments at Harvard University (1982-1983) and The University of California, Berkeley (1983-1985) he became a faculty member at Loyola University of Chicago (1985-1994), and is currently a full professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Toxicology at the University of Montana (1995-present). Dr. Thompson is a bioorganic chemist and uses a combination of organic synthesis, [bio]chemistry, cellular and spectroscopic approaches to solve problems in neuroscience, particularly in the design and action of small molecules acting on the cholinergic and glutamatergic systems. Dr. Thompson is also the co-founder of ATERIS Technologies specializing in the detection and diagnosis of overexposure to toxic chemicals such as organophosphates. He is a AAAS fellow and a co-author of more than 100 research publications, several patents and recipient of large number of federal grant awards.
