PHARMACOLOGY and TOXICOLOGY
|
|
The Pharmacology and Toxicology curriculum provides multidisciplinary training for students interested in the molecular and cellular bases of drug action. Areas of research include signal transduction pathways, synaptic transmission, cell electrophysiology, circadian rhythms, and antimicrobial chemotherapy.
Program of Study
After developing a strong foundation in modern biology through the IGP core courses, students entering the PT Curriculum focus thematically on modern research in signal transduction and drug action, often in areas relating to the structures of the signaling molecules. Students participate in the Signal Transduction and the Structural Biology journal clubs, both of which meet monthly, and attend the Molecular Pharmacology and the Drug Discovery Program seminar series, both of which meet monthly. Training is often supported through NIH T32 training grants, including those in Drug Discovery, Cancer Biology, and in the Cellular and Molecular Basis of Disease.
