Impactful Education and Training | Innovative Research | Meaningful Service
Our goal is to generate new knowledge and tools that can lead to better treatments for devastating human medical problems.
Department of Pharmacology faculty are conducting innovative research that advances our understanding of drug action – from the structural basis of drug-receptor interactions and biological signaling mechanisms to clinical translation – while engaging the next generation of scientists in our discovery efforts.
The Department of Pharmacology is dedicated to teaching fundamental principles of pharmacology and drug-based therapies for human medical afflictions to students in undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs, and to providing impactful and individualized training opportunities for postdoctoral scholars.
The Department of Pharmacology strives to make meaningful service contributions to the department, medical school, university, and people of Minnesota while serving as critical resources of scientific expertise at the national and international levels.
We are an Inclusive Community
The Department of Pharmacology welcomes people of all backgrounds, nationalities, and ethnic groups. We support and welcome diversity, and know that diversity makes us stronger. We can only accomplish our goals by valuing a wide variety of perspectives and ideas.
