Speakers:
Friday'
Research Presentation: Dr.
Thomas F. Murray. Creighton Dept of Pharmacology
"Neuroactive Drugs from
the Sea"
Dr. Murray is
interested in
neuroreceptor-operated processes in the general context of
understanding excitotoxicity and the neurobiology of drugs of abuse.
This analysis of receptor-mediated cellular actions requires a
multidisciplinary approach, which we accomplish with the use of a
variety of neurochemical and molecular methods, as well as key
collaborations with medicinal and natural product chemists
