What is Pharmacodynamics?

Pharmacodynamics: The study of the biochemical and physiologic effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action. --The Merck Manual

Our research is at the interface of physiology, neuroscience, pharmacology and pathology.  We rely on a combination of molecular, biochemical, cellular and behavioral tools. 

The general goals of our Department's research are to understand normal physiology, pathophysiology, and drug action.
