Embedded in the mission of the UW School of Pharmacy is the charge to create, transmit, and apply new knowledge based on cutting-edge research in the pharmaceutical, social, and clinical sciences. This exciting work is motivated by a desire to enhance the quality of life through improved health for the people of Wisconsin, the nation, and the world.
School of Pharmacy faculty are making great strides in discovering and improving drugs, developing novel drug delivery methods, finding better methods of patient care, engaging in groundbreaking socioeconomic research, and guiding state and national health care policies.

Rennebohm Hall, home to the school, provides state-of-the-art research space. Our west-campus location, in close proximity to the School of Medicine and Public Health, the School of Veterinary Medicine, and the Waisman Center, facilitates interdisciplinary biomedical research collaboration.
As we celebrate our 125th anniversary in 2008, we are committed to sustained excellence in research and initiatives that innovatively respond to the rapid changes taking place in health care, science, education, and technology.
