The Neuroscience Research Center (NRC) is a university-wide center where diverse and multidisciplinary research is conducted to further the understanding of neural and behavioral disorders. Whether conducting cellular research in laboratories or clinical trials in patient care settings, the work of NRC researchers may someday contribute to preventing and treating such devastating disorders as: * Dementias resulting from Alzheimer''s disease and stroke * Mental retardation and other learning disabilities * Mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness * Alcoholism and other substance abuse problems * Inability to process knowledge due to factors such as aging and head trauma * Disabilities due to disorders of the developing nervous system More than 280 faculty hold NRC appointments, and are on the faculties of the Medical School, School of Public Health, School of Nursing, Dental Branch, and School of Biomedical Informatics. Departments with significant NRC research activities within the Medical School include Neurobiology and Anatomy; Neurology; Neurosurgery; Ophthalmology and Visual Science; Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Radiology. NRC activities are guided by an executive committee appointed by the President of the Health Science Center. The Neuroscience Research Center (NRC) is affiliated with educational opportunities at the graduate and postdoctoral levels.

Research in the Department of Pharmacology focuses on three major areas: 1) cardiovascular science 2) cell signaling 3) cancer biology and therapeutics. Within those areas, research ranges from basic biological problems to those with clinical orientations. The cardiovascular science research strives to understand the normal and abnormal functioning of the heart at the molecular, cellular and organ levels, and is exceptionally strong in cardiac electrophysiology and the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmia. The cell signaling research concerns regulation of cell function by extracellular factors, the molecular biology of signaling pathways, cell communication, and intracellular proteolysis. The cancer biology and therapeutics research is focused on molecular mechanisms regulating cell death and survival in human malignancies, development and testing of novel cancer therapeutics, novel tumor markers, oncogenic transformation and apoptosis, regulation of tumor suppressors and molecular mechanisms of leukemogensis. The Pharmacology Department has multiple research grants for the next five years. Most of the funding comes from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with additional funding from the Association for International Cancer Research, the American Society of Hematology, the Department of Defense and the American Heart Association.
