Faculty Areas Of Investigation
The research
conducted in the Department of Veterinary and Comparative Anatomy,
Pharmacology and Physiology (VCAPP) benefits society by improving our
understanding of some of the leading causes of death and disability in the
U.S. These include: learning and memory disorders, sleep function,
muscle movement and movement disorders, vision disorders, diabetes, obesity
and eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, and heart disease. All of
these areas involve the disciplines of anatomy, pharmacology and physiology
and are represented by faculty of internationally recognized stature. The
department is home to the greatest concentration of neuroscience researchers
in the Inland Northwest, and the University is home to the Northern Rocky
Mountain Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. VCAPP is the base
department for The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program at Washington State
University. In addition to many interdisciplinary collaborative
efforts within the department, the college and the University, VCAPP faculty
members participate in collaborations with colleagues in many other academic
institutions and agencies. We encourage you to call or write to specific
faculty whose interests may be similar to your own.
