Welcome to the Pharmaceutical Sciences Division at the University of Wisconsin-Madison! The Pharmaceutical Sciences Division consists of three core areas: Drug Discovery, Drug Action, and Drug Delivery. These cores encompass the disciplines of medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical biochemistry, pharmaceutics, biotechnology, pharmacology and toxicology.
The mission of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Division is to integrate these cores for increased collaborative interaction, diverse scientific understanding, graduate student development, and engaging didactic courses. This mission is accomplished through innovative research; education of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students; and service to the professional, scientific, and public communities.
The division is a talented international community of nearly 200 people, made up of world-class faculty, scientists, lecturers, technicians, administrative staff, postdoctoral researchers, and over 50 graduate students.
