Although most of them have been with us for many weeks already, we formally introduced the 2015 class to other students and faculty during the Student Symposium. We have nine entering students this year. Click "here" if you want to know more about them.

On a calm, beautiful day over the Long Island Sound, the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology Graduate Program hosted its annual Research Symposium at Lombardi's in Port Jefferson. After sharing a nice lunch while soaking in the water views, the day started with a student poster session and faculty talks by Profs. Demple, Chung, van der Velden.

The department of Pharmacology would like to send a warm welcome to all our students in for the 2015-2016 academic year.
And especially our incoming graduate class. Learn about them here:

The Undergraduate Pharmacology Class of 2015 celebrates graduation, with pomp and circumstances - see their creative side via their CAPS, and their reflection of themselves through their slideshow below.
