Overview

Research avenues for pharmaceutical scientists—from drug discovery, drug delivery, drug development (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), PK-PD modeling and clinical trials) to basic cellular signaling of disease states and pharmaceuticals—are wide open.

The graduate programme in pharmaceutical science at Rutgers’ Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, ranked among the top programmes in this field in the 2010 National Research Council (NRC) ratings.

Here students find a research environment in which competitive, funded, and cutting-edge work is conducted with a multidisciplinary faculty of respected scientists. Students learn the skills and knowledge demanded by the modern needs of our field, mastering the ability to both:

advance current knowledge in traditional pharmaceutical science and

integrate the great strides being made in genomics, molecular/cellular biology, and Big Data capability into a new understanding of pharmaceutical science.

Career

Scientists graduating from the Pharmaceutical Science programme of Rutgers University enjoy a competitive advantage in pursuing successful careers in academia, regulatory agencies, and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
