Jeffrey Pessin, Ph.D., is Chair of the Pharmacological Sciences Department in the School of Medicine. His research efforts utilize state-of-the-art cell biological approaches including microinjection and living single cell confocal fluorescent microscopy. More recently, he has developed mouse models of insulin resistance to provide important information for an understanding of the molecular events causing altered metabolism and the basis for more effective treatments of diabetes. He is a past winner of the Eli Lilly Outstanding Investigator Award from the American Diabetes Association

Specific areas of expertise: Insulin actions and resistance. Molecular analysis of receptor tyrosine kinase activity.
