Jane Alcorn is a Professor and Dean at the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition at the University of Saskatchewan. She holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, and a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacokinetics) from the University of Kentucky. Her research expertise is in pharmacokinetics, particularly focusing on the determinants of neonatal exposure risk in breastfeeding mothers who require medications. She emphasizes developmental maturation in xenobiotic elimination mechanisms and the interactions of xenobiotic-nutrient transporters within lactating mammary epithelial barriers and their consequent outcomes on breast milk nutrient composition. Jane's work also explores the therapeutic benefits of phytochemicals, specifically flaxseed lignans and cannabinoids, and the mechanisms of their action. Her laboratory investigates lignan and cannabinoid pharmacokinetics in relation to chronic diseases and therapeutic intervention, utilizing a variety of pharmaceutical analysis techniques, molecular biology, and biochemical methods alongside cell culture systems, animal models, and human clinical trials.
Standard university-wide graduate requirements apply to most arts and science departments unless otherwise specified by the program.
