Perry A. Frey (born 1935) is professor emeritus of

National Academy of Sciences in 1998.[2] Research in his laboratory centered on the elucidation of enzymatic reaction mechanisms.[3][4]

Early life and education

Frey was born in Plain City, Ohio in 1935. He served in the military for two years before attending Ohio State University, where he earned his B.S. degree in chemistry in 1959. Frey earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Brandeis University in 1968.[2]

Career

During the time between his undergraduate and graduate studies, Frey worked for the Public Health Service. After earning his Ph.D., he worked as a postdoctoral fellow for enzymologist Frank Westheimer at Harvard University. Frey then secured a faculty position in the chemistry department at the Ohio State University. He held that position for several years, but in 1981 he joined the faculty at the Institute for Enzyme Research (now a part of the biochemistry department) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[2]
