Adeboye Adejare
Chair, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Director, Pharmacology and Toxicology Graduate Program
Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Research Professor of Medicinal Chemistry
My group is interested in the areas of design and syntheses of small organic molecules to probe neurodegeneration. We are also interested in in vitro models of drug absorption and ability to cross the blood brain barrier, drug targeting, pharmaceutical profiling, and chemistry of fluoroaromatic compounds. The major therapeutic ideas we focus on are N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists and gamma-secretase inhibitors. These two mechanisms have been implicated in neurodegeneration as observed in stroke and Alzheimer’s...
Bin Chen
Assistant Professor of Phamaceutical Sciences
My research focus on targeting tumor blood vessels for cancer therapy. We are particularly interested in using photo-active drugs(photosensitizers) to modify tumor vascular function. Current research projects include characterizing blood vessel structural and functional changes induced by vascular targeting therapy, studying the interaction between vascular targeting therapy and conventional tumor cellular targeting therapy, and elucidating the molecular mechanism of vascular-targeting therapy. Fluorescence imaging is an important component of our research. We have developed an integrated...

Professor of Chemistry
My research interests focus on three basic areas—solution thermodynamics, physical biochemistry, and, pharmaceutics. Solution Thermodynamics A large number of waters of hydration (20–60) have been found for precipitates of tetra n-butylammonium (TBA) halides at temperatures ranging from 5 to 25ºC. It is believed that these clathrates may exist in solution. Studies of these solutions as a function of concentration and temperature may serve to model similar interactions that may occur in aqueous solutions of important...
