\nDepartment Profile – Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nChair:<\/strong>  Howard E. Gendelman, M.D. <\/p>\n

\nNumber of people in department (faculty\/staff):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nUNMC employees:<\/p>\n

\n20 faculty<\/p>\n

\n8 instructors<\/p>\n

\n15 post doctoral fellows<\/p>\n

\n34 graduate students  <\/p>\n

\n68 staff <\/u><\/p>\n

\nChairman’s Message:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI couldn’t be more proud of what has happened over the past decade for our Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience Department.  <\/p>\n

\nIn 2006, the UNMC pharmacology research program was ranked 89th out of 97 medical schools for research funding by the Blue Ridge Institute scorings.  During that time several faculty had left, there was significant turnover in research expertise that occurred with parallel changes in leadership. Our trajectory was uncertain and research grants had fallen to $603,000\/annum. <\/p>\n

\nIt is gratifying that the current rankings show that our program was ranked 10th in the nation with more than $12.1 million operative for research funding in 2015. <\/p>\n

\nThis marks the fifth straight year that we have reached this position among like departments. We have beaten some of the top medical schools in the United States including Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Michigan and UCLA.   <\/p>\n

\nAm I prideful for what our faculty have accomplished?  You bet I am.  So many are responsible for this feat and especially notable in collaborative science.  <\/p>\n

\nSuch gratitude also extends to the academic side of the department. I was thrilled to learn this month that one of our faculty, David McMillan, Ph.D., was recognized for his outstanding teaching by being selected for the Golden Apple Award.  When students select someone for an award like this, it’s high praise indeed.  <\/p>\n

\nThe department profile in this month’s issue of InterCOM is quite extensive. It’s indicative of the outstanding work that is being done by so many. My deepest thanks to all for your tremendous accomplishments. Keep up the great work!  The best is yet to come.  <\/p>\n
