Brian R. Overholser, PharmD, FCCP
Dr. Overholser is an Associate Professor at the Purdue University College of Pharmacy with a laboratory located in the Personalized Medicine Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine. The goal of his research program is to identify mechanisms the pathologic regulation of voltage-gated ion channels using cellular and animal models that are translatable to clinical practice. This translational research has received funding from the National Institutes of Health, Showalter Trust, Lilly Endowment, American College of Clinical Pharmacy, and the American Heart Association. His multidisciplinary research team has published over 45 original research papers in addition to 14 book chapters. Most recently, his laboratory has pursued the genome-wide screening of microRNA which has resulted in exciting data related toward the development of a molecular fingerprint to predict drug-induced arrhythmias.
