Pharmacology and Toxicology

Pharmacology is the study of the mechanisms by which drugs alter living organisms, while toxicology focuses on understanding the adverse effects of chemical and physical agents on human health. Together, these related disciplines explore the interactions between external agents, such as drugs and chemicals, and biological systems, such as the human body.

​

Our department is also committed to educating the next generation of pharmacists and scientists. We teach PharmD students, in classrooms and laboratories, about the molecular mechanisms that determine how drugs, pollutants, and other agents heal or harm the body.
