Developing future leaders in the pharmaceutical sciences
Greg M. Landry, PhD, DABT
| Associate Professor"Teaching and guiding students in toxicology has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career."
Dr. Roseann Donnelly
| Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice“Pharmacogenomics explores whether there is a genetic reason why we see this individual variability in drug response. If we have that information upfront, can we use it to personalize someone's medication selection and dosing to maximize the chance that a drug will work well for somebody and minimize the chance of those adverse reactions”
Swati Betharia
| Chair, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences“Lab-based research in basic sciences is what makes the department of pharmaceutical sciences unique in the School of Pharmacy. So, we in the department—faculty who work in research labs—the onus is on us to make sure that we provide students the lab-based skills that only we can provide.”
