GraduateSchool of MedicalSciences PHARMACOLOGY A partnership with the Sloan Kettering Institute PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Pharmacology PhD program is unique in that it trains students in the underlying scientific foundations of modern pharmacology. FOUNDATIONS: Mission The research activities of the Weill Cornell Chemical Biology Pharmacology Program faculty cover broad areas of modern pharmacological sciences. Faculty carry out research in cancer pharmacology, neuropharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, Radiochemistry drug metabolism, toxicology, proteomics, molecular pharmacology, receptors and signal transduction, chemical biology, radiochemistry, drug design, molecular imaging, nanotechnology, Drug Design and immunotherapy. A major mission of the Pharmacology Program faculty is to provide research training to Ph.D. students and to postdoctoral fellows that is thorough, intense, exciting Molecular Biology and state of the art.
