Cyclooxygenase and Cyclooxygenase Inhibition - Do Antiiflammatory Agents Kill More Than Pain?
Dr. Selinsky's research interests include membrane active antibiotics and aminosterols, structure/function studies on prostaglandin synthase, and anticoagulants. This lecture is timely due to the recent recall of Vioxx.

Dr. Selinsky received his B.S. in Chemistry from Lebanon College and Ph.D. from SUNY at Buffalo. In addition to his teaching and research duties at Villanova University, he has also served as the Chair of the Chemistry Department.
