Pharmacological Sciences and Molecular Medicine

"So much of the history of modern pharmacology involved Yale, and after joining this department, I’ve come to realize that I am a part of something bigger and greater than I ever anticipated. The spirit of the great thinkers and innovators that once, and still do, walk the halls, and labs, inspires me everyday to continue Yale’s research legacy. The pharmacology department, and Yale in general, is a place where everyone wants you to succeed, and they do their best to ensure that this happens. There is no place I would rather be!"

Pharmacological Sciences and Molecular Medicine Track 

The Pharmacological Sciences and Molecular Medicine Track offers the opportunity for students to use the tools of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, structural biology and genetics to investigate the mechanisms of disease, pathogenesis, and the molecular actions of drugs that treat these diseases. The faculty in this interdisciplinary Track are drawn primarily from Pharmacology and Pathology, with participating faculty from Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Immunobiology, Internal Medicine, and Psychiatry.
