Work with thought leaders and academic experts from Fort Lewis College

Dr. Brent Lindquist-Kleissler received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of California Santa Cruz in 2023. During his graduate studies, he focused on bioinorganic chemistry and developed new methodologies for the synthesis and characterization of antimony-containing molecules. His computational research on antimony-containing molecules provided new insight to understanding main-group chemical structures and bonding. Prior to completing his doctorate, Dr. Lindquist-Kleissler worked as a compounding manager at Rivergate Pharmacy, where he gained experience in formulating customized medications for patients. During his undergraduate studies he studied natural product synthesis at Fort Lewis College and at Northeastern University, where he synthesized new drug delivery systems. Dr. Lindquist-Kleissler's expertise in both inorganic chemistry, computational chemistry, organic chemistry, and pharmaceuticals allows him to bridge the gap between the laboratory and the pharmacy, ensuring the safe and effective use of medications for patients. He is passionate about finding innovative solutions to improve patient health and is committed to staying current on the latest advancements in the field. In his free time, Dr. Lindquist-Kleissler enjoys hiking, playing tennis, and reading.
