Biomolecular Sciences

The Biomolecular Sciences Division at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy is at the frontier of the Pharmaceutical Sciences - developing new drug therapies, discovering new drug targets, and developing new methods for disease diagnosis. 

 

Faculty members in this division educate and train students at the graduate and undergraduate levels in the Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry programs.  The research conducted by these faculty members represents the intersection of a variety of disciplines including biology, chemistry, and engineering. The classical fields of pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, and toxicology are all strongly represented within the Division.  Some of the unique strengths of the Biomolecular Sciences Division include work in the area of nanomedicine, disease diagnostics, and drug delivery.  Students trained within the Division are well-prepared for careers in the pharmaceutical industry, academics, biotechnology, and biomedicine.


Our Division is composed of two sub groups: Pharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, and Molecular Pharmacology and Toxicology.
