The Department of Pharmacology & Chemical Biology creates an intellectual and physical environment in which basic chemical principles are applied to the understanding of cell signaling events, with these new insights then used in the creation of new therapeutic strategies. The major responsibilities of the Department are to: (1) educate medical students and physicians in the rationale for drug selection; (2) train contemporary pharmacologists; (3) develop new knowledge in the biomedical sciences; and (4) provide information about existing and emerging drugs to members of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the University of Pittsburgh and the general community.

Pharmacology involves the discovery of new drugs, the investigation of how drugs work and the use of drugs to probe mechanisms of disease. But pharmacology also involves the elucidation and manipulation of macromolecular structures, the analysis of regulatory mechanisms in cell biology and development, and the translation of this information into clinical research. Thus, the science of pharmacology spans the most fundamental aspects of basic research, through transgenic animal models, to clinical investigation.

Department of Graduate Pharmaceutical Sciences offers programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. These programs are designed to prepare scientists, educators, and practitioners for careers in pharmaceutical education, research, industry, and related areas of pharmacy practice. The graduate programs do not prepare students for practice as a registered pharmacist, so applicants who are interested in a pharmacy career should apply to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program. However, students who have already completed one year in the Pharm.D. program may apply to the dual degree, Pharm.D./M.S. program and study concurrently for a graduate degree.
