Development of analytical instrumentation for trace organic analysis. Gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and ion mobility spectrometry. Cell biology of breast cancer. Lawrence, B. Paige , Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy. Research emphasis is on immunoregulation and elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the immune suppression caused by environmental contaminants.
Specific focus is currently on dioxin and the suppression of host resistance to viral infection.
Other areas of interest include immunomodulation by substances of abuse, pulmonary immunology and receptor-mediated toxicity. Research interests include inhalation toxicology of vapors and particulates with special emphasis on the developmental and reproductive aspects of toxicity. Other areas include the metabolism, distribution, and toxicokinetics of xenobiotics. Meadows , Gary G. , Professor of Pharmacognosy, Dorothy O. Kennedy Distinguished Professor, and Director of the Cancer Prevention Research Center, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the College of Pharmacy. Research on the pathophysiology of hemostatic disease, the role of the hemostatic system in human and animal disease and the action of drugs and toxins on the hemostatic system.
