UW Pharmacology is highly ranked both nationally and internationally. Our innovative research, partnerships with clinical programs and the pharmaceutical industry make UW Pharmacology in Seattle an optimal environment for discovery.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Message from the Chair

Our mission is to explore the action of drugs and their role in the treatment of disease. Consequently, faculty research interests encompass drug discovery, biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology, neurobiology, and pharmacogenetics. My role as Chair is to enable innovative research by UW Pharmacology scientists and encourage the translation of these ideas from the lab to the clinic.

Fostering the Next Generation of Scientists

Another vital element of our mission is to nurture the professional development of the next generation of scientists. Staff, students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty collectively work together to create an intellectually vibrant and deeply supportive environment that fosters curiosity and creativity. Our goal is to foster a space where ideas can flourish, collaboration is encouraged, and every voice has the opportunity to contribute to discovery and innovation.
