Frank serves as the Clinical Research Manager and senior Study Coordinator for Biogenics Research Institute. He and Dr. Jacobs originally founded the company in 1993. Prior to that time, Frank had been involved in other human research activities. After graduating from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Frank worked in aerospace physiology research at Brooks Air Force Base, conducting military-contracted studies involving decompression sickness, G-tolerance, thermal stress, and wound healing in Air Force pilot candidates. In 1988, Frank moved to Houston to work as a research contractor for NASA at Johnson Space Center. His position as a Flight Experiment Scientist allowed him to develop and implement research protocols for Shuttle-based Spacelab missions as well as provide training and collect data on Shuttle astronauts during spaceflight.
Frank returned to San Antonio in late 1992 to work with his father and sister in establishing Biogenics. He received and has maintained his certification as a clinical research coordinator since 1997. Frank has two sons who both graduated college with degrees in Physics.
