Janet Lighthouse

Janet Lighthouse serves as an Assistant Professor in the Biomedical Sciences Program at the College of Health Sciences and Technology, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). She actively teaches core courses including Biomedical Research (MEDS-290, MEDS-510), Introduction to Pharmacology (MEDS-310), Special Topics (MEDS-489), and Pharmacology II (PHYA-416), demonstrating deep integration with RIT's academic mission.

Her research expertise centers on pharmacological mechanisms, with emphasis on drug-receptor interactions, dose-response relationships, structure-activity relationships, and metabolic pathways. She investigates pharmaceutical formulations, excipient design, dosage systems, and elimination kinetics, applying these principles to disease etiology and targeted pharmacotherapy development. Her work bridges foundational science with clinical applications in therapeutic drug management.
