My research is focused on the vestibular system, a sensory system in the inner ear that detects head movements and changes in head position, and how it influences autonomic regulation. A major focus in recent years is the neural pathways responsible for producing motion sickness. In my administrative (vice chancellor) role at the University of Pittsburgh, I am responsible for assuring that all research is conducted ethically and in compliance with all regulations. Thus, I have expertise in the regulations and ethical framework related to human and animal subject research, biosafety, gene manipulation, human stem cell experiments, radiation safety, clinical trials, research integrity, export control and research security. I can provide background on the regulatory requirements related to the safe and ethical conduct of research.

I am Professor and Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina. I am also the John C. West Chair in Cancer Research and Director of the Developmental Cancer Therapeutics Program at the Hollings Cancer Center.
I received a B.Sc. in microbiology/genetics from the University of Wales, Swansea, UK; a PhD in biochemical pharmacology; and a DSc. from the University of London. My past research and teaching positions include Georgetown University School of Medicine, Lombardi Cancer Center, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and the University of Pennsylvania.
I have served on numerous peer review committees and scientific advisory boards in the United States, Canada, Italy, UK, and United Arab Emirates.
I am currently serving as chair of ASPET’s Publication Committee. I previously served as editor in chief for the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics and associate editor for Molecular Pharmacology, as well as held several other roles with editorial boards of many other journals.
 
My primary research interests include anticancer drug discovery/development and drug target identification, mechanisms of redox stress response, glutathione metabolism, and mechanisms of drug resistance. I have published over 170 research articles; 130 editorials, reviews, and book chapters; and two books. Additionally, I served as an editor on nearly 20 books and hold a number of patents.
