At UB, cutting-edge research is being carried on many fronts,
in drug delivery, protein formulation, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics.
These research studies are aimed at improving therapy for many diseases, such as cancer, transplantation
rejection, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Our students are exposed to
contemporary research techniques and practices. Graduates are highly recruited by national laboratories, in
academia, industry and government. Our department's long standing tradition of excellence in education and
research continues to receive nationally and internationally acclaim and recognition.
The Department offers a range of academic programs: (please refer to each link for additional details)
- Bachelor of Science:
This program provides basic training in the pharmaceutical sciences, and can be normally completed
within a 4-year university curriculum.
- Combined Bachelor/Master
of Science: This accelerated program allows qualified students already enrolled for the BS
degree in our program to complete a combined degree within a 5-year university curriculum.
- Master of Science: This post-graduate program normally involves two
years of additional training beyond the B.S. degree, including more intensive research training. The department
also offers a unique M.S. program
