Faculty
The Medical Pharmacology and Physiology Faculty is actively involved in studying the regulation, expression, and identification of receptors, neurotransmitters, hormones, growth factors, other chemicals and the transmembrane signal transduction process which modulate ion transport, and regulate proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
