Molecular Pharmacology & Therapeutics (PhD)
Molecular Pharmacology and Therapeutics PhD Integrated Program for Biomedical Sciences (IPBS)
The PhD in Molecular Pharmacology & Therapeutics is dedicated to training outstanding scientists in the pharmacological sciences. After successful completion of formal course work students will have acquired in-depth knowledge of pharmacology and basic knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and physiology. Our training provides a solid foundation for successful scientific careers in a wide range of areas, including academia, government, and the pharmaceutical industry.
This track trains students for research and teaching in medical schools, research centers and the pharmaceutical industry. Students gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of drug action, drug-receptor interactions and cellular signal transduction.
In order to join the Molecular Pharmacology & Therapeutics PhD track, students must apply to the Integrated Program for Biomedical Scienes (IPBS).
