Research Interests
Dr. Vestal’s research interests include the effects of aging on drug metabolism, drug response, and drug interactions. These affect drug treatment in elderly patients and, along with studies of adverse drug reactions and therapeutic drug utilization, broadly define geriatric clinical pharmacology as a field of medical research.
