Pharmacy Research Personnel

Pharmaceutical Sciences faculty lead cutting-edge research in drug discovery, nanomedicine, regenerative medicine, and translational therapeutics. With major funding from NIH, DoD, NASA, NSF, ADA, and AHA, their work spans neural repair, cancer, diabetes, cardiometabolic disease, and neurodegeneration — advancing next-generation therapies and positioning Wyoming at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation.

 

Pharmaceutical Sciences

 

Faculty in Pharmaceutical Sciences advance discovery and innovation across molecular pharmacology, drug design, nanomedicine, regenerative medicine, and translational therapeutics. Their work addresses pressing health challenges such as neural repair after injury, cancer treatment, cardiometabolic disease, diabetes, obesity, and neurodegeneration. Supported by major grants from NIH, the Department of Defense, NASA, NSF, the American Diabetes Association, and the American Heart Association, their research has yielded groundbreaking advances, including PEG-fusion for nerve repair, silver nanoparticle biosynthesis for cancer therapy, lipid droplet biology in Alzheimer’s disease, and rationally designed inhibitors for COVID-19 and neurodegenerative disorders. Publications in journals such as Nature Methods, PNAS, Neuropsychopharmacology, and Biomaterials demonstrate both rigor and translational relevance. Globally recognized, faculty deliver keynote lectures at leading scientific conferences, contributing to next-generation therapies and training future innovators in drug discovery and development.
