Department of Pharmacodynamics
Welcome
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.
Our faculty are currently PI's on grants from the NIAAA, NIDA, NIDDK, and NIEHS.
We are Co-I's on grants from NHLBI, NINDS, and NIDDK.
We have additional funding from the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Brain Institute, the Epilepsy Foundation of America, and the American Health Assistance Foundation.
Our Department moved into newly renovated space in June 2004.
Departmental Objectives
To establish productive areas of basic and applied research in the field of how drugs and genetic engineering can be better used to treat disease.
To provide didactic training in physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology for students pursuing the Pharm.D. degree throughout the state of Florida.
To provide broad training for graduate students in the physiology, pharmacology, and neuroscience disciplines as well as in depth didactic and research training in specialized areas of Pharmacodynamics.
To provide a research environment which allow undergraduate students and pharmacy students to pursue research interests congruent to those in the department.
