Our faculty members participate in conferences around the world, conduct groundbreaking research, and publish books and journal papers that contribute to their field and highlight their expertise. We feature those accomplishments and more in this section.
College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences
Philip Vieira, assistant professor of psychology, has co-authored the article “Ultra-High-Precision, in-vivo Pharmacokinetic Measurements Highlight the Need for and a Route Toward More Highly Personalized Medicine.” The article details the experts’ use of indwelling electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) sensors as a means of measuring pharmacokinetics rapidly and with high precision using a rat animal model. Pharmacokinetics is a branch of pharmacology concerned with the movement of drugs within the body.
