The Department of Pharmacology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is active in the broad research and teaching areas of:

A newly defined research area of Systems Pharmacology embraces each of these pharmacology disciplines with a focus on understanding inter and intra cellular signaling pathways that are regulated by endogenous molecules and therapeutic agents.

 

In addition to excellence in instruction and training in the primary discipline areas of pharmacology, the mission of the Department of Pharmacology is to create new knowledge through preeminence in research.

 

We feature outstanding faculty in the Department of Pharmacology who interact collaboratively with colleagues across UW-Madison, some of whom are jointly appointed in the Department of Pharmacology. These faculty from related disciplines — such as physiology, pathology chemistry, biomedical engineering and ophthamology — complement the overall theme of cellular signal transduction.

 

The National Institutes of Health-funded interdisciplinary graduate PhD training program in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology offers significant opportunities for graduate studies in pharmacology at the University of Wisconsin.
