Division of Pharmacy Practice and AdministrationDaren Knoell’s promotion to FullProfessor marks a notablepharmacy career at OSU. TheNIH-supported investigation ofDaren’s laboratory is based inclinical translation researchwhich focuses on makingscientific discoveries involvinglung disease at the bench andtranslating these findings to thepatient’s bedside. Daren and hisgroup start with a problem. Forexample, “Why do certainpatients with infection quicklydevelop life-threatening acutelung injury when others respondeffectively to antibiotics?”Two recent discoveries in theKnoell lab have provennoteworthy. Zinc, a vital dietarynutrient, has been found to playan important role in protectingcells within the lung frominfection-induced injury. Anotherfinding involves an enzyme knownas PTEN. Members of his teamwere the first to report thatinhibition of this moleculeprovides a protective advantagein preventing the development ofacute lung injury.Daren’s wife, Karen, apharmacist at the McConnellHeart Health Center, also preceptsand teaches pharmacy studentsas an adjunct faculty in ourcollege. Son, Oliver (17), is asenior at Metro High School/Darby High School, a full-timeOSU student, and captains hishigh school soccer team.Daughter, Chloe (13) is an 8thgrader in Hilliard and enjoys beinga teenager, orchestra, andkeeping her parents up to speedwith the latest fashion trends.Nahata, Milap C.Balkrishnan, RajeshBeatty, StuartBennett, Marialice S.Brackett, Carolyn C.Buerki, Robert A.Cable, Gerald L.Carnes, Cynthia A.Casper, Kristin A.Coyle, James D.Dula, ColleenEmptage, Ruth E.Hale, Kenneth M.Hall, Laura E.Hinkle, Jr., George H.Huston, Jeffery L.Lacombe, VeroniqueKelley, Katherine A.Knoell, Daren L.Legg, Julie E.Mehta, Bella H.McAuley, James W.Murphy, Christine C.Pai, Vinita B.Pruchnicki, Maria C.Rodis, Jennifer L.Seoane-Vazquez, Enrique C.Siegel, JerrySzeinbach, Sheryl L.Dasta, Joseph F.Pathak, Dev S.Reuning, Richard H.Visconti, James A.Professor and ChairAssociate Professor and Merrell Dow ProfessorAssistant Professor of Clinical PharmacyProfessor of Clinical PharmacyAssociate Professor of Clinical PharmacyProfessorClinical Assistant Professor and Director, Experientialand Outreach ProgramsAssociate ProfessorAssociate Professor of Clinical PharmacyAssociate Professor ofClinical PharmacyClinical AssistantProfessorClinical AssistantProfessorClinical AssociateProfessor and AssistantDeanClinical AssistantProfessorAssociate ProfessorClinical AssistantProfessorMilap C.

New PhD program: Translational ScienceThe College of Pharmacy recently launched a new area ofspecialization for doctoral study, a program in Translational Science.This program is an addition to the existing doctoral (PhD)specializations in Pharmacology, Medicinal Chemistry andPharmacognosy, Pharmaceutics, and PharmaceuticalAdministration. Translational Science is that which ultimatelytranslates research from the laboratory bench to the patient as wellas the reverse. The combination of basic and clinical sciencetraining during the PhD studies, with the clinical training duringthe PharmD studies, is designed to provide a strong foundation forconducting translational science. The program was developed tomeet an unmet need for translational scientists in academia,pharmaceutical industry, and governmental agencies.❖ Open only to students who are concurrently enrolled in, orhave already completed, PharmD studies.❖ Some graduate course work may be completed during thePharmD program of study.❖ Students have opportunities for independent study, summerresearch courses during the PharmD program.❖ Full-time graduate students are eligible to receive support asteaching assistants or research assistants and may be eligiblefor student loan repayment from the National Institutes ofHealth loan repayment program.❖ Faculty advisers may be from any of the divisions of thecollege, but at least one advisory committee member mustbe from the Division of Pharmacy Practice andAdministration.Bella Mehta.
