The Department of Pharmacology is among the oldest and largest in North America, with its official foundations in 1887, at the same time that the Faculty of Medicine was re-established in the University of Toronto. We offer training in pharmacology and toxicology to both undergraduate and graduate students who may subsequently go on to exciting research, regulatory and administrative careers in academic, industrial and healthcare provision settings.Current areas of research investigation in the Department include Receptor Pharmacology, Signal Transduction Pathways, Neuropharmacology, Drug Addiction Studies, Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacogenetics, Cardiovascular Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology, Behavioural Pharmacology, Immunopharmacology, Endocrine Pharmacology and Molecular Toxicology. Our research laboratories are located not only in the core Department situated in the Medical Sciences Building on the downtown St. George campus, but also within a number of nearby university Departments, Faculties, university-affiliated research institutes and teaching hospitals. This strategic positioning also enables a wealth of potential opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration with internationally recognized investigators within one of the largest and densest existing concentrations of biomedical research expertise in North America.

University of Virginia's Biomedical Sciences Program provides students with the requisite knowledge and skills with which to pioneer major advances in our understanding of the complex biology of cells and tissues, and to lead efforts to cure and/or better treat human disease in the 21st Century. To help meet the challenges of modern biological/biomedical research training, the University of Virginia faculty have adopted an interdepartmental structure for graduate training that optimizes the research training opportunities available to you, and the flexibility to chose a mentor and advanced graduate specialty training area ideally suited for your professional interests and aspirations. To ensure personalized attention, entering students are asked to identify one of seven graduate program groups within the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program that best suits their initial professional interests. However, students are free to change their program selection as their interests evolve during their first year, and have access to a plethora of research interests from over 200 biological/biomedical science faculty in the School of Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences on the main University of Virginia campus.

Offers graduate program and training. Areas include mechanisms of DNA repair, oligodendrocyte development and maturation, functional neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, cellular responses to oxidative stress, kinesin motor proteins and motility, regulation of nuclear transcription, and hormonal regulation of fertility. Program emphasizes understanding of biological principles at the cellular level and training in the anatomical disciplines to ensure success during career development. To achieve these objectives the department participates extensively in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Curriculum which teaches fundamental biological principles during the first year. After the first year, students select a mentor and begin to focus on a significant research topic.

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.
