Neuropharmacology & Brain Health
We explore the molecular foundations of brain function and neurodegenerative disease.
Our faculty combine computational modeling, receptor pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and environmental neuroscience to develop new approaches for treating pain, neurodegeneration, and neurologic disorders.
Faculty in this area include:
- Dr. Diaz – Cannabinoid pharmacology and retinoic acid therapeutics
- Dr. Holley – Glutamate transporters and NMDA receptor modulation
- Dr. Lilian Calderón-Garcidueñas – Pollution-induced neurodegenerative pathology
