Gary Mount, PharmD
Discipline Chair for Pharmacology

I am an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at VCOM-Auburn where I also teach Pharmacology for Bluefield University's MHSA Anesthesiology Assistant program. I completed my undergraduate studies at Auburn University, before earning my PharmD. from the University of Florida. I sit on the several committees including the Alabama Board of Pharmacy.  

Education

Year University Degree
2006 University of Florida PharmD
1990 Auburn University BS Pharmacy

Research Interests

My research interests are 3D-printing and diabetic ulcerations.  The goal of this research is to develop genetically targeted, patient-specific medications.  This will allow our medication therapies to have an enhanced therapeutic effect with fewer toxicities.

Also, I have an interest in COVID-19 vaccinations with two parts. First, I would like to see pharmacy technicians be able to give vaccinations and collect data regarding this effort.  This is something that is already happening in some of our states and it will most likely be allowed in our state (Alabama) by the beginning of the year.  Second, I would like to see if we could tabulate the adverse effects seen with the vaccine.

Research Interests

My primary research interests are in the field of cardiovascular physiology and, in particular, the effects of exercise on microvascular function and hemodynamic control in the setting of various physiological stressors and pathologies. Ultimately, my research goals are to i) elucidate mechanisms associated with exercise-induced improvements in vascular function and blood flow control in common pathologies (heart failure, prostate cancer, and pulmonary hypertension), and ii) promote the use of exercise as a therapeutic modality in the management and prevention of disease progression in rodent pre-clinical models of disease.

Research Interests

My research interests center around the prevention and treatment of nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). My current research focus is on the development and sustainability of an interdisciplinary culinary medicine (CM) elective for healthcare students to improve their knowledge and comfort with counseling on nutritional approaches. The overall aim is to generate healthcare professionals who are confident and proficient at communicating evidence-based nutrition information to patients at risk of or suffering from NCDs. Additionally, I engage in research related to women’s health (pregnancy and breastfeeding), osteopathic manipulative medicine, and neurodegenerative diseases.
