Research Focus Areas

Cardiovascular Pharmacology & Toxicology
Cardiovascular Pharmacology & Toxicology 

In particular, the cardiovascular group is studying the connections between salt intake or obesity on blood pressure control mechanisms. 

Drug Discovery and Receptors
Drug Discovery and Receptors 

At MSU we identify specific receptors and signaling mechanisms involved in disease processes such as hypertension and heart disease, inflammation and fibrosis, cancer, epilepsy, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson.

Environmental Toxicology
Environmental Toxicology 

We examine the harmful effects of various chemical, biological and physical agents on living organisms.

Hepatic Pharmacology & Toxicology
Hepatic Pharmacology & Toxicology 

Faculty in the department are working to understand mechanisms by which liver damage occurs, particularly focusing on the role of inflammatory factors.

Immunopharmacology & Toxicology
Immunopharmacology & Toxicology 

Research in this area is broad in scope and ranges from studies focused on elucidation of cell and molecular mechanisms of cannabinoid and dioxin-mediated immune modulation to investigations identifying the underlying role of the innate immune system in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury.

Neuropharmacology & Toxicology
Neuropharmacology & Toxicology 

We are discovering the mechanisms of cellular neurotoxicity in brain cells that affect common life threatening diseases such as cardiovascular, Parkinsons, and neurodegenerative diseases.
