The Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology provides an outstanding environment for research training in integrative biology and molecular medicine. The Department is also the home for the Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging, the Center for Molecular Medicine, and the Ahmanson Biological Imaging Clinic. Our faculty specializes in areas as diverse as genomics/proteomics, chemical biology, molecular basis of disease, drug discovery, signal transduction, neurobiology, nanosciences, and molecular imaging. A primary mission of our Department is to bring gifted students, scientists, and physicians together to understand the life-sustaining biological mechanisms that regulate the functions of the body, the molecular errors that lead to disease, and to explore the pharmacological means to correct them. The Department is visionary and places equal emphasis on hypothesis- and technology-driven research. The graduate program is comprehensive and well integrated into the fabric of the Department, and offers inter-disciplinary research, classroom learning, internships, and teaching experiences in the biological and physical sciences.
