Dr. Bertram G. Katzung , MD, PhD received his M.D. in 1957 from State University of New York, Syracuse, and his Ph.D. in Pharmacology in 1962 from University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He interned at Moffitt Hospital and joined UCSF's Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (now CMP) in 1958. He became a faculty member in 1962 and served as Acting Chair from 1978 to 1981. Dr. Katzung's research focused on cardiac cellular electrical activity and the effects of drugs, such as digitalis and antiarrhythmic agents, on cardiac function.

Todd W Vanderah, PhD, is a leading professor of pharmacology at the University of Arizona. He also plays an important role as Co-Director of the MD/PhD Dual Degree Program, which helps students pursue both medical and research degrees. Dr. Vanderah focuses his research on understanding how pain from cancer works and how the nervous system processes pain. He studies changes in the nerves that can lead to pain and how the body adapts to these changes. Additionally, he investigates how certain pain-relieving drugs work and looks for new ways to treat pain effectively.
