Elisha Injeti, Ph.D.
Chair of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Cedarville University
Pharmaceutical sciences professor specializing in pharmacology, vascular biology and drug development research
Biography
His research has examined developmental changes in vascular reactivity and myosin light chain kinase activity in ovine carotid arteries, as well as the physiological mechanisms underlying vascular and intestinal smooth-muscle responses. He has also contributed to research involving chlorogenic acid, cytokine storm biology, drug interactions and pharmacokinetics.
At Cedarville, Injeti has contributed to the development of pharmacy education and interprofessional learning models. His published and presented work includes research on pharmacy education, qualitative research methods, medication-related investigations and the integration of scientific and clinical concepts in health professions training.
His scholarly record includes peer-reviewed research, conference presentations and institutional publications. He is identified in OpenAlex under the fuller name Elisha R. Injeti, with an ORCID record connected to his pharmaceutical sciences research.
