Meet the Business Owner: David C.
Dr. Cooper obtained a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at Imperial College of Science and Technology, London (UK), working under the direction of Sir Derek H.R. Barton, Nobel Laureate. After 11 years in pharmaceutical research (antibiotics) he attended the University of Miami, Fl., Medical School, graduating with an MD in 1978. Following an internship in Pediatrics, he became Director of Medical Research for Merck and then Director of Medical Research for Lederle Labs. Realizing that Pediatric Medicine was his passion, he founded Chester County Pediatrics (as a part-time venture) in December, 1979. It became his full time occupation in 1984. His Chemical and Medical expertise have led to a continuing interest in Infectious Disease and Allergy.
