Trent is an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at U of L’s James Graham Brown Cancer Center. Advanced Cancer Therapeutics, or ACT, works closely with researchers at the cancer center to get cancer treatments to market more quickly.

ACT has identified as top priorities two compound programs it has licensed from U of L related to the growth of cancer cells. The firm also has designed and synthesized more than 200 small-molecule compounds against cancer targets in both programs, according to a news release.
