Brazeau to Serve as Chair-Elect of AACP Council of Faculties

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Gayle Brazeau, Ph.D., associate dean for academic affairs in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, will be installed as the chair-elect of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Council of Faculties at its annual meeting in July.

The AACP is the national organization representing and supporting all U.S. colleges and schools of pharmacy and their faculty members.

Brazeau, an associate professor in the UB departments of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences, serves on several editorial advisory boards for scientific and educational journals and on panels and committees of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Pharmacopeia and National Institutes of Health. She serves as an advisor to several organizations for professional pharmacy students.

Her research interests focus on understanding the biochemical and toxicological interactions of compounds such as alcohol and cocaine, and drugs such as statins, antibiotics, estrogen, and estrogen replacement therapy. Other research interests include development of intramuscular formulations that result in less muscle damage upon injection without altering drug bioavailability.

Prior to joining UB, Brazeau held faculty and administration positions at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy and the University of Florida at Gainesville College of Pharmacy.

A resident of Amherst, she earned her doctorate from UB and her bachelor and master's degrees from the University of Toledo College of Pharmacy.
