Pharmaceutics Graduate Research
Pharmaceutics is a multidisciplinary science which focuses on the study of the physical, chemical and biological properties of drugs and dosage forms. Cutting across the traditional disciplinary boundaries, pharmaceutics examines the relationship of drug properties to dosage form design, fabrication, evaluation and therapeutic efficacy. Students in the pharmaceutics program may develop research programs in the areas of drug delivery systems, drug stability, dosage forms, and pharmacokinetics.Pharmaceutics faculty, located in the modern facility in the Texas Medical Center, engage in collaborative research projects with other Texas Medical Center institutions. This environment provides students with a wide range of basic and clinical research experience and opportunities to conduct animal and human research. Course work available from other University of Houston departments and Texas Medical Center institutions provides didactic backgrounds which meet the needs of individual students.

Pharmacology Graduate Research
Pharmacology is the study of the mechanisms of action of drugs and drug effects on normal and disease states. It is a science based upon the integration of chemistry, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and physiology. Students in the Pharmacology program may develop research programs in the areas of renal, autonomic, central nervous system, cardiovascular pharmacology, signal transduction, or protein biochemistry.Electives in Pharmacology
