Research Focus and Interests:

• Dr. Bose's research interests lie at the intersection of mechanistic pharmacology, clinical application, and evidence-based health professions education, with a focus on improving both scientific understanding and learner outcomes

• Pharmacology education research, emphasizing active learning strategies, formative assessment, and innovative instructional tools such as flowcharts and mixed-methods evaluation approaches

• Understanding factors that regulate motivation and learning.

• Dr. Bose’s research program integrates basic pharmacology, translational science, and scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). His foundational research focuses on cellular signaling mechanisms, particularly calcium signaling pathways, ryanodine receptor function, and their role in neurotoxicity, inflammation, and cardiopulmonary disease. His work has explored environmental toxicants (e.g., PCBs, nanoparticles) and pharmacologic agents that modulate intracellular calcium dynamics, contributing to understanding mechanisms of cell injury and disease.
