Monday 01/03/2005
Wolfgang Sadee, chair of pharmacology, program director in pharmacogenomics at the College of Medicine and Public Health and a BMI collaborator, has been awarded a presidential citation from the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS). Sadee received the award from the AAPS's president in recognition of his creative vision and vast contribution in establishing The AAPS Journal, the association's peer- reviewed online publication. He has served as editor-in-chief of the AAPS Journal since its inception in 1998. He received the award at the AAPS annual meeting and exposition in Baltimore.
Sadee's research focuses on the structure and function of membrane transporters and G protein coupled receptors, and receptor signaling relevant to drug addiction. Recently, he has focused on pharmacogenomics, exploring the genetic variability of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes, membrane transporters and drug receptors. In collaboration with other research teams, Sadee's group studies genetic factors underlying drug addiction, coronary artery disease and response to cancer chemotherapy.
