Kenneth Bastow, PhDResearch FocusDiscovery and pre-clinical development of anti-herpes and anti-tumor agents as investigational tools and as potential drug candidates. | |
Susan Blalock, PhDResearch FocusEvaluation of community-pharmacy based programs focused on illness prevention and disease management | |
Moo Cho, PhD | |
Drug Disposition LaboratoryResearch FocusElucidating the mechanisms that determine the kinetics of drug disposition and action. The lab's current focus is primarily on drug transport phenomena, especially as they relate to drug distribution, elimination and pharmacologic response, how these processes may be affected by disease states, age, patient variables, and pharmacologic/toxicologic interactions. | |
Joel Farley, PhDResearch FocusEvaluation of the public policies used to manage prescription medications, with a particular interest in the effect of Medicaid prescription cost-containment policies on vulnerable populations. | |
Richard Hansen, PhDResearch FocusHealth outcomes as a function of clinical intervention, with a special interest in understanding real-world parameters (e.g., access, adherence, cost, patient preferences, and promotion) that influence treatment decisions and subsequent health outcomes. | |
Leaf Huang, PhD | |
Michael Jay, PhDResearch FocusThe application of pharmaceutical approaches to solve problems related to nuclear imaging and therapy, and the use of radioanalytical approaches to solve problems encountered in the development of novel formulations and drug delivery systems. | |
Harold Kohn, PhDResearch Focusthe delineation of the mechanism of action of clinically approved and emerging drug candidates and in the broad disciplines of drug discovery and target identification and validation. | |
Andrew Lee, PhDResearch FocusUsing NMR spectroscopy to study the relationship between protein structure and dynamics and how these respond to perturbations such as binding (natural ligands or drugs) and mutation (evolution) | |
Kuo-Hsiung Lee, PhD | |
Jian Liu, PhD | |
Rihe Liu, PhD | |
Matthew Maciejewski, PhDResearch FocusHealth economics, program evaluation, outcomes research, and research methods. | |
MIchael D. (Mick) Murray, PharmD, MPHResearch FocusDeveloping pharmacy services to improve drug therapy in older adults with chronic disorders, health care utilization of low-income minority people, and pharmacoepidemiology using large population computer databases. | |
Jaya Rao, MD, MHSResearch FocusPatient-provider communication and methods for enhancing communication between patients and their health care providers. | |
Mary Roth McClurg, PharmD, MHSResearch FocusEvaluating the quality of medication use in older adults who reside in the community setting and developing innovative strategies and programs to improve the quality of medication use in this population. | |
Betsy Sleath, PhDResearch FocusPhysician-patient communication about medications and mental health issues, ethnic/racial differences in medication use, and health behavior and medication adherence. | |
Scott Singleton, PhD | |
Dhiren Thakker, PhDResearch Focusintestinal absorption and disposition of drugs, with emphasis on transport mechanisms, both paracellular and transcellular, and interactions between drug transport and metabolism. | |
Tim Wiltshire, PhDResearch FocusLinking genes and disease through the use of haplotype-associated mapping. Our major focus is on anxiety and depression and the drugs used to treat them. | |
Qisheng Zhang, PhDResearch FocusStudying endogenous, small molecule-protein interactions and their downstream signaling. |
