- Assistant Professor, Pharmacy Practice, Irma Lerma Rangel School of Pharmacy
Dr. Fatima Alshbool is an Assistant Professor, who joined the Rangel College of Pharmacy in February 2020. She is a pharmacist and a pharmacologist by training, having received her Pharm.D. degree (2006) from Jordan University of Science & Technology and her PhD degree (2014) from Loma Linda University. Dr. Alshbool's research program is focused on studying cardiovascular/thromboembolic disorders, such as heart attacks and stroke, particularly as they relate to platelet activation and signal transduction, including in the context of environmental health. One of her laboratory's main areas of focus has been investigating the impact of a relatively new form of tobacco smoking, namely e-cigarettes on platelet biology and associated diseases. She is also interested in defining the structural biology of platelet G-protein Coupled Receptors; amongst others. Dr. Alshbool's ultimate goal is to identify new therapeutic agents for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease, and to gain insight into the negative impact of "tobacco" exposure on cardiovascular health.
