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.
