Meet the Faculty
Ream Al-Hasani, PhD
Associate Professor
- Email: al-hasanir@wustl.edu
Studies the negative affective behaviors associated with the withdrawal phase of addiction and the interaction of endogenous opioid systems with commonly prescribed opioid analgesics.
Cyrielle Billon, PhD
Assistant Professor, UHSP
- Email: cyrielle.billon@uhsp.edu
Researching novel nuclear receptor compounds to supress inflammasomes in myoblasts for the treatment of muscular dystrophy, in particular Duchene Muscular Dystrophy.
Tao Che, PhD
Assistant Professor
- Email: taoche@wustl.edu
Research in the Che lab is foucused on comprehensively characterizing and dissecting the molecular mechanisms of opioid receptor signaling in order to gain an atomic-level understanding of opioid receptor activation, and to use this information to develop chemical and synthetic biologic tools.
Bahaa El-Gendy, PhD
Associate Professor
- Email: belgendy@wustl.edu
Research is concentrated on drug design and organic synthesis. He designs and synthesizes novel small organic molecules as modulators of nuclear hormone receptors for the therapeutic treatment of cancer, fatty liver diseases, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Atherosclerosis.
Lamees Hegazy, PhD
Associate Professor, UHSP
- Email: lamees.hegazy@uhsp.edu
Computational scientist focusing on nuclear receptors structors and identification of novel ligands.
Manish Madasu, PhD
Instructor
- Email: manish.k.madasu@wustl.edu
Scientist interested in pain and sensation.
Susruta Majumdar, PhD
Professor
- Email: susrutam@wustl.edu
Research is aimed at attaining functional selectivity of opioid agonist action from its own target adverse effects while integrating chemical synthesis with biochemical, genetic, and pharmacological approaches.
Jordan McCall, PhD
Associate Professor
- Email: jordangmccall@wustl.edu
Expertise in neural mechanisms underlying the emotional distress associated with stress, chronic pain, and addiction.
