Pharmacology & Physiology
|
|
|
Pharmacology examines and characterizes the action of drugs in humans and animals. It emphasizes the therapeutic responses of drugs, their mechanisms of action, the fate of drugs in the body, potential adverse reactions, and drug-drug interactions. Physiology considers processes that control and regulate the functioning of systems within an intact organism. Basic physiological processes underlie all fields in biomedical science. Understanding and exploiting the specific actions of drugs can also furnish a way to probe physiological and biochemical processes in both normal and pathological circumstances. Research in pharmacology and physiology provides challenging and exciting opportunities for graduate study. The Pharmacology and the Physiology program offers graduate courses leading to the M.S. and the Ph.D. Both degrees require independent research under the direction of faculty members in the department, who are engaged in highly active research programs involving molecular, cellular, and behavioral approaches to experimental pharmacology and physiology in a strongly collaborative environment.
The Ph.D. program, requiring a minimum of four years in full-time study, is focused on educating students to become independent researchers and teachers in pharmacology and physiology.
