The Department of Pharmacology is renowned for its strength in elucidating basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of signal transduction that lead to drug target identification and ultimately to drug discovery. Many of the department's research efforts impact directly on human health, supported by NIH grants on hypertension, cardiovascular regulation, cancer, and neurological and inflammatory diseases. The department's research directions include computational and molecular science, catalyzed by the department's close affiliation with the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and structure guided drug design and bioinformatics. Cross campus efforts in environmental health sciences and pharmacogenomics have been launched through major NIH funded project grants. Appointments of adjunct faculty from the local biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry create a natural bond for cross fertilization and communication, bridging the department's basic science efforts, and enhances endeavors in drug discovery.

The Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology offers an opportunity for gifted students, basic and clinical scientists to fulfill a vision of exploring the molecular and biological mechanisms that regulate cellular and organ functions, of identifying and understanding the molecular errors of disease, and of developing the pharmacological means to correct these errors. Remarkable scientific discoveries and astonishing technological innovations are occurring as biological, physical, engineering and clinical sciences come together to explore both the mechanisms by which cells are programmed from the genome to construct protein based cell circuits and the functions they perform, as well as the inter-cellular networks that form organ systems and the whole organism. This combination of new perspectives, new technologies and new scientific discoveries is having a tremendous impact on the way we think about and perform science today, and will have an even greater impact on biology and medicine in the future.

Neuroscience at Trinity involves faculty from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Philosophy, and Psychology. The major is designed to give students a fundamental grounding in the sciences, and the flexibility to direct their studies towards biological, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of neuroscience. A major in Neuroscience can lead to a career in scientific research, the health professions, education, business, law, or government. Neuroscience is a broad, multidisciplinary field concerned with the nervous system, its components, and functional activities, including behavior and consciousness. How do nerve cells function and develop, and how do they communicate? How do brains work, and how have they evolved? What is the nature of consciousness, and the neural basis for behaviors and for human brain dysfunction? These are among the many questions being answered by contemporary neuroscience.
