Welcome to the Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology!

The program brings together gifted students, scientists and physicians striving to explore the biochemical and molecular biological mechanisms that regulate cell and organ functions, and the design and development of effective pharmacological means to intervene in them when they are errant.

The Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology Graduate Program offers a comprehensive research and educational experience ranging from the basic biological sciences to the imaging of biological processes in cell and tissue cultures and mammals. The research interests of our training faculty include the therapeutics of cancer and infectious diseases, cardiovascular and endocrine pharmacology, and neuropharmacology. The course work in the program provides advanced knowledge in pharmacology and in addition biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, immunology, computational biology and neuropharmacology.

The quality of the education and training offered by our Program is reflected by 28 years of continuous NIH-funded training grant support, the participation of many affiliated faculty outside of the core department and more than 80 PhD graduates who hold academic positions at top Universities and in the pharmaceutical industry.

Our goal is to provide support, education and a training environment that successfully prepares students for subsequent academic or industrial career opportunities.

We are looking forward to meeting you.
