Erica Woodahl is a Professor at the University of Montana’s Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her research focuses on precision medicine and pharmacogenomics to address interindividual variability in drug response, emphasizing rural, American Indian, Alaska Native, and pediatric populations.
- Education: B.S. in Biochemistry from University of Notre Dame; Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics from University of Washington
Her work integrates community-based participatory research to overcome barriers in translating pharmacogenomics into clinical practice. She investigates mechanisms by which genetic factors alter drug-metabolizing enzymes (e.g., cytochrome P450), transporters (e.g., ABC transporters), and regulatory proteins. She is part of the Northwest-Alaska Pharmacogenomics Research Network (NWA-PGRN), aiming to engage underserved communities in precision medicine studies.
