About David H. Peyton

By re-engineering the decades-old malaria drug Chloroquine, PSU chemistry professor David Peyton may save millions of lives. Teams at his startup firm DesignMedix and PSU have shown the new drug's effectiveness in mice, and human trials may be only a couple years away. Peyton's approach could have applications in curing other infectious diseases as well.
Peyton is also known for his findings in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealing that e-cigarette vapor can contain hidden formaldehyde at levels five to 15 times higher than regular cigarettes.
