My research interests center on improving the diagnostic and care paradigm for oral cancer. Specifically, I am currently doing work establishing oral cancer cell lines, looking at EGFR expression in oral tumors, and running a clinical trial evaluating the use of fluorescence lifetime imaging to guide intraoperative decision making in oral cancer.

Dr. Hammock’s laboratory has a long collaboration with faculty and students in the school of veterinary medicine. His laboratory develops mass spectral and biosensor analytical methods for environmental contaminants and drugs in companion animals. The laboratory is working on a new branch of the arachidonic acid cascade and is developing drugs to block arthritic and laminitic inflammation in horses and inflammatory and post surgical pain in dogs and cats associated with injury, diabetes, age and other criteria.
Projects:
Use of inhibitors of the soluble epoxide hydrolase to potential treat disease in companion animals such as dogs and cats as well as horses and livestock species.
Pharmacokinetic analysis in development of novel pharmaceuticals for veterinary use.
Fundamental mechanism of action of regulatory lipids.
Natural food additives to expand the efficacy of omega 3 fatty acid supplements in food of companion animal and livestock species.
Development of CNS acting drugs to treat disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease and depression.
