Pharmacology and Toxicology
Faculty
The major research emphasis in the department is mechanistic studies of drug and toxicant action. In particular, faculty in the department study signal transduction processes, including fundamentals of receptors and second messengers (cyclic nucleotides, G proteins, ion channels, eicosanoids and calcium) as well as signaling cascades that result in changes in DNA transcription. Toxicological research programs include xenobiotic metabolism, biochemical toxicology, neurotoxicology, aquatic toxicology and the toxicology of pesticides.
