The Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology offers Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, but does not admit applicants who seek only an MS degree.

The graduate program in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology (DMMP) offers opportunities for research in a wide range of areas, providing access to challenging scientific problems to be solved by integrating pharmacological, biological, physical, engineering and medical sciences to explore mechanisms of disease. Biological systems used for research in the DMMP range from sub-cellular and biophysical through a single cell to a whole organism, including human patients. Our research includes studies of basic cell biological properties and alterations that occur in disease, with goals that – in appropriate contexts – extend both to the development of new in vitro and in vivo molecular diagnostics and to development of molecular therapeutics. Along with Pharmacology’s Ahmanson Translational Imaging Division, which involves PET and Nuclear Medicine imaging research and clinical service, and the Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging, students have access to diverse science and technologies. In addition, the Department has close ties and interactions with several biotechnology companies and start-ups. This program provides education, experience and industry mentorship to graduate students in the DMMP (and other academic programs) to prepare them for professional careers.
