Faculty & Research
Neuropharmacology
Neuropharmacology focuses on the study of drugs that modify the function of the nervous system. The scientists in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology are engaged in integrated anatomical, electrophysiological, imaging, neurochemical and behavioral research.
Cancer Pharmacology
Cancer Pharmacology focuses on the identification of the molecular mechanisms by which cancer cells subvert normal control. Department researchers are studying the role of protein kinases, including protein kinase A and protein kinase C, the parathyroid hormone-related protein and the hedgehog signaling pathways in cellular signaling and cancer.
Molecular Design
Molecular design is the newest research initiative in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology. The impetus is the spectacular progress in recent years in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and structural biology.
Affiliate Faculty
Molecular Toxicology
Molecular toxicology focuses on identifying and understanding how a toxicant enters an organism and interacts with target molecules and how the organism tries to prevent or repair the injury.
