The
University of Cincinnati is noted for the first antihistamine
drug discovery, for the Sabin polio vaccine and for the discovery
of the mechanism of action of dantrolene, which has largely
ameliorated mortality due to malignant hyperthermia in the operating
room. Other notable research from the University includes work
on the biological mechanism of action of important cardiovascular
drugs such as digitalis glycosides and calcium channel antagonists.
Recent advances on cell signaling cytokines and genetic variance
in drug responsiveness among asthma sufferers are further examples
of the directions research within our program might lead you.
