About+Dr.+Frazier

Mark W. Frazier, PhD I was raised in Memphis, Tennessee, in the Graceland neighborhood (my house was only about 500 yards from the back of Elvis’s mansion). I graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin with a BS in biology, minoring in chemistry. I then earned a PhD in molecular biology at Vanderbilt University. Later I worked at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, and at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. I am married (25 years so far) to Amy Frazier, who is a scientific editor. We have four daughters, a chocolate Labrador Retriever, a paint horse, and a Red-eared Slider (turtle). I enjoy backpacking, gardening, cooking, and reading.
