Department of Pharmacology

The Department of Pharmacology is a dynamic, scholarly environment dedicated to teaching, training and fundamental discovery. Our faculty enjoys working with students and post-doctoral trainees who seek out the many opportunities offered by a broad, diverse Department, such as ours.

Training opportunities are numerous in the various fields encompassed by our faculty. These include:

cancer pharmacology focusing on drug resistance, experimental therapeutics and cell cycle regulation
molecular mechanisms involved in cellular signaling by hormones and growth factors
hormonal regulation of the vascular system and fatty acid/triglyceride metabolism
neuropharmacology of drug abuse and the actions of neurotransmitters that regulate hormone secretion

The Department's faculty is engaged in numerous collaborations within the Department, as well as throughout the University and with affiliated institutions, which enhance our research efforts and broaden our training opportunities. To meet the research objectives of our students and faculty, the Department is equipped with advanced technologies that enable investigators to take integrative and molecular approaches to their work.
