Event Description

Back in September, Carolyn Ma gave an overview of the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at UH Hilo. This month, Dr. Connelly will go into more depth about the Pharmaceutical Sciences research program at the college. Their major areas of focus are cancer biology and natural products drug discovery.

Linda Connelly received her PhD in Molecular Pharmacology at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London, UK. She completed an International Travelling Post-Doctoral Fellowship at UCLA and University College London. In 2009 Dr. Connelly joined the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UH Hilo and in 2016 she was elected to serve as the Department Chair for Pharmaceutical Sciences.
