Kenneth Bastow

Kenneth Bastow, PhD

Research Focus

Discovery and pre-clinical development of anti-herpes and anti-tumor agents as investigational tools and as potential drug candidates.

Susan Blalock, PhD

Research Focus

Evaluation of community-pharmacy based programs focused on illness prevention and disease management


Moo Cho, PhD
Lab of Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Research Focus

Adopting chemical approaches to solve biopharmaceutical problems involved in drug delivery, particularly cellular delivery of nucleic acids.


Drug Disposition Laboratory

Research Focus

Elucidating the mechanisms that determine the kinetics of drug disposition and action. The lab's current focus is primarily on drug transport phenomena, especially as they relate to drug distribution, elimination and pharmacologic response, how these processes may be affected by disease states, age, patient variables, and pharmacologic/toxicologic interactions.


Joel Farley, PhD

Research Focus

Evaluation of the public policies used to manage prescription medications, with a particular interest in the effect of Medicaid prescription cost-containment policies on vulnerable populations.

Richard Hansen, PhD

Research Focus

Health outcomes as a function of clinical intervention, with a special interest in understanding real-world parameters (e.g., access, adherence, cost, patient preferences, and promotion) that influence treatment decisions and subsequent health outcomes.

Leaf Huang, PhD
Laboratory of Drug Targeting

Research Focus

Using liposomes and immunoliposomes for drug delivery. Current activities are focused in the development of non-viral vectors for gene (including oligonucleotides) therapy, and receptor mediated drug and vaccine targeting using self-assembled nanoparticles.

Harold Kohn, PhD

Research Focus

the delineation of the mechanism of action of clinically approved and emerging drug candidates and in the broad disciplines of drug discovery and target identification and validation.

Andrew Lee, PhD

Research Focus

Using NMR spectroscopy to study the relationship between protein structure and dynamics and how these respond to perturbations such as binding (natural ligands or drugs) and mutation (evolution)

Kuo-Hsiung Lee, PhD
Natural Products Research Laboratories

Research Focus

Medicinal chemistry, bioactive natural products, new drug discovery and development, and Chinese medicine.

Rihe Liu, PhD
The Functional Proteomics Laboratory at School of Pharmacy and Carolina Center for Genome Sciences

Research Focus

Using in vitro protein selection strategies to address biological problems on a proteome-wide scale.The major tool used in the lab is a novel technique called mRNA display, in which a protein is covalently linked to the 3' end of its own mRNA.

Matthew Maciejewski, PhD

Research Focus

Health economics, program evaluation, outcomes research, and research methods.

MIchael D. (Mick) Murray, PharmD, MPH

Research Focus

Developing pharmacy services to improve drug therapy in older adults with chronic disorders, health care utilization of low-income minority people, and pharmacoepidemiology using large population computer databases.

Jaya Rao, MD, MHS

Research Focus

Patient-provider communication and methods for enhancing communication between patients and their health care providers.

Mary Roth McClurg, PharmD, MHS

Research Focus

Evaluating the quality of medication use in older adults who reside in the community setting and developing innovative strategies and programs to improve the quality of medication use in this population.

Betsy Sleath, PhD

Research Focus

Physician-patient communication about medications and mental health issues, ethnic/racial differences in medication use, and health behavior and medication adherence.

Scott Singleton, PhD
Singleton Research Group

Research Focus

Understanding the molecular basis for the development and transmission of microbial drug resistance and the discovery and exploitation of new strategies for controlling drug-resistant microorganisms

Dhiren Thakker, PhD

Research Focus

intestinal absorption and disposition of drugs, with emphasis on transport mechanisms, both paracellular and transcellular, and interactions between drug transport and metabolism.

Tim Wiltshire, PhD

Research Focus

Linking genes and disease through the use of haplotype-associated mapping. Our major focus is on anxiety and depression and the drugs used to treat them.
