Overview

Pharmacology is the science that explores how drugs affect humans and animals, unlocking insights that span a wide range of biological systems and therapeutic possibilities. It's a field that touches on everything from the molecular details of drug-receptor interactions to broader issues like disease treatment and environmental health.

Are you passionate about understanding how drugs impact the body? Want to be part of a program that combines innovative research with a strong commitment to teaching and service? Then a master’s degree in Pharmacology from the University of Mississippi is for you.

Research

Faculty lead research on a variety of critical topics, including cannabinoids, opioids, hormones, and cellular signaling pathways. These studies have far-reaching applications in areas like aging, cardiovascular diseases, drug addiction, diabetes, obesity, neurological disorders, and even the effects of pollutants on human health.

Researchers use cutting-edge tools such as mass spectrometry to investigate the structure-function relationships of proteins and carbohydrates, along with clinical, preclinical, and behavioral assessments, and advanced cell culture techniques.
