Theodore Rasmussen serves as an Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology within the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy, contributing to both research and academic instruction in pharmaceutical sciences.

His research program focuses on critical domains including:

• Pharmacology: mechanisms of drug action and therapeutic applications
• Toxicology: chemical safety assessment and adverse effect pathways
• Drug Metabolism: biochemical processing of pharmaceutical compounds
• Pharmacokinetics: drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion dynamics
• Molecular Pharmacology: cellular and molecular interactions of bioactive substances

Dr. Rasmussen directs the Rasmussen Laboratory (http://raslab.uconn.edu/), which conducts experimental investigations into drug mechanisms and toxicity profiles. The laboratory maintains active research initiatives aimed at advancing pharmaceutical knowledge with potential translational applications in drug development and safety evaluation.
