The Department’s mission to educate the next generation of leaders in biomedical research and drug discovery is well-supported by our growing family of dedicated faculty mentors with broad research interests in Neuroscience, Obesity/Metabolism, and Cancer.  

Students at all levels work side-by-side with faculty to explore basic physiological systems, as well as mechanisms of disease and drug action (Pharmacology), while also performing meaningful, translational research. Through our cutting-edge research facilities, highly applicable interdisciplinary coursework, and collaborative environment, we provide students the skills and expertise needed to set them apart from the crowd.
