The future of Pharmaceutical Science lies in a better integration of the fundamentals of pharmaceutics (physical and biological pharmacy) and basic cellular and molecular biology. The current Pharmaceutical Science graduate program at Rutgers is at the forefront of pharmaceutical science research. 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 program in pharmaceutical science at Rutgers’ Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, ranked among the top programs 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:
