Research Interests
Dr. Frye's clinical research program has focused on the identification and characterization of factors that contribute to interindividual variability in drug response. Current focus is on genetic and non genetic (e.g., age, disease) factors that cause variability in drug metabolism, which can be assessed with in vivo probes that can measure the activity of specific drug-metabolizing enzymes in individual subjects. Dr. Frye has received funding for his research from the Pharmaceutical Industry and the National Institutes of Health.
