Master of Science in Biotechnology: Pharmacology Track

The Departments of Biochemistry, Neurosciences, and Pharmacology provide an interdisciplinary home for the Master of Science in Biotechnology (MS-Biotech) program.

The MS-Biotech program offers a choice of three specialization tracks:
Biochemistry Track
Neurosciences Track
Pharmacology Track

The Pharmacology Track is designed to introduce you to the principles of pharmacology, including drug absorption, distribution, elimination, metabolism (pharmacokinetics), and drug-receptor theory and mechanism of action (pharmacodynamics), as well as contemporary approaches to drug discovery.
