Program Description
The graduate program in pharmacology and
toxicology began as the graduate program in
pharmaceutical sciences and has been awarding
graduate degrees since 1940. This
research-oriented program prepares students for
careers in independent research and teaching in
pharmacology, toxicology, and related areas. The
program awards Ph.D. and M.S. degrees. The
research interests of the faculty are very broad;
active areas of research include cancer biology
and therapy, gene therapy and delivery,
pharmacokinetics, proteomics, reproductive
biology and neuropharmacology. The diversity in
faculty research interests provides students with
a solid foundation in many areas of molecular,
cellular and whole animal pharmacology and
toxicology and gives them a wide variety of
research programs from which a dissertation
proposal may be selected. The curriculum provides
students exposure to virtually all areas of
current research in molecular and cellular
biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology,
pharmacology, pharmaceutics, and toxicology.
Formal course requirements are flexible to tailor
programs to individual needs.
The graduate program in pharmacology and
toxicology also sponsors a Summer Undergraduate
Research Fellowship (SURF) Program in
pharmacology and toxicology. The SURF program
provides a hands-on, ten week paid research
experience for undergraduate students with
outstanding scientific aptitude who are
considering a career in research. The summer
fellows will work on a pharmaceutical or
biomedical research project under direct
supervision of a graduate faculty researcher
member.
