His PhD research involved the design and testing of structurally unique adrenergic receptor probes. In 1981, Dr. DeRuiter accepted a post-doctoral position at the State University of New York at Buffalo where he investigated the design and synthesis of novel potential anti-cancer drugs of the pyrroloquinoline class.
