Research Highlight
Richard Wojcikiewicz
Interim Chair, Pharmacology Department
Richard Wojcikiewicz, interim chair of the Pharmacology Department, was recently awarded a $260,589 RO1 grant from the National Institutes of Health for his study of intracellular calcium channels (IP3 receptors) and the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. His work has relevance to clinical researchers studying cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
