Welcome
to the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology & Neuroscience!

A major emphasis of the Department is in the areas
of neuropharmacology, neuroscience, and toxicology, with research in:

• drug and alcohol addiction research
• stress
• neurotransmitter regulation & plasticity in addiction, aging, and neurodegenerative disease in vivo
• oxidative mechanisms of toxicity
• molecular regulation of toxicity and apoptosis
• gene therapy
• carcinogenesis and cancer chemoprevention
• neurobiology of locomotor function in aging
• molecular cascades in neurodegenerative disease models
• molecular basis of behavioral consequences from prenatal drug exposure

The Department offers graduate programs of study
in neuroscience and toxicology and emphasizes and
maintains an NIH training grant for its program of
study in drug and alcohol addiction research.
