Jeffry B. Lansman PhD, UCSF School of Medicine

Dr. Jeffry Lansman is Professor Emeritus of Cellular & Molecular Pharmacology in the School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco. He is a member of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience, the Weill Institute of Neuroscience, and the Cardiovascular Research Institute at UCSF. He has received a PhD in Physiology at UCLA School of Medicine and completed postdoctoral training at the Yale Medical School and the Physiological Laboratory at Cambridge University.

Dr. Lansman works with legal counsel in cases involving all aspects of medical pharmacology. He consults in cases where there is cause to believe medications have been given in error or where medications have produced adverse effects contributing to disability or death. Dr. Lansman's expertise includes drug mechanisms of action, adverse effects, interaction with other drugs, contraindications in the context of a patient's medical history, and time course of metabolism and elimination from the body. He determines the scientific and medical basis for understanding how and why medical treatment often leads to a bad outcome. He consults in anesthesia errors, medication problems in neuropsychiatric cases, and cases involving alcohol and drugs of abuse.

Dr. Lansman also has expertise in medications and a patient's ability to give "informed consent." He wins cases based on solid scientific analysis of the patient's prior history of disease and treatment, genetic and physiological vulnerabilities, and symptoms and adverse outcomes.
