The Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology is an integral and essential part of the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science.  Our mission is discovery, scholarship and service.  Pharmacology forms the basis for much of modern medicine and is the preferred mode of intervention in many diseases.  The processes underlying drug actions and drug discovery are fundamentally multidisciplinary, intersecting fields as diverse as physiology, anatomy, behavioral neuroscience, biochemistry and molecular biology.  This department carries out research in all these areas and is committed to preparing students for careers in pharmacological and medical research and service.  We contribute to academic teaching by providing a solid foundation in pharmacology and therapeutics for medical, podiatry and physician's assistant students and also in neuropharmacology for graduate students.  For more detailed information regarding the research and publications of faculty, staff, and students in our department, please read our department annual report for the 2007 calendar year.  If you would like more information about our graduate program or any other aspect of our department, please do not hesitate to contact me at gloria.meredith@rosalindfranklin.edu
