CWRU School of Medicine's Department of Pharmacology
The Department of Pharmacology enjoys a tradition of excellence in basic science research. Because modern pharmacology is a multifaceted discipline, we have created rich interdisciplinary training programs in pharmacological sciences by joining our primary faculty with affiliated faculty from other departments. A diverse faculty, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and staff from around the globe create the essential competitive edge our programs offer in an increasingly borderless field!
