The Pharmacology Department runs a dynamic research initiative focused on neuropharmacology (examining drug impacts on the central nervous system), immunopharmacology (investigating pharmaceutical effects on immune responses), and cellular signaling during vertebrate growth. The department collaborates with numerous institutions worldwide, such as Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science, the Regenerative Medicine Institute, and the Network of Excellence for Functional Biomaterials at NUI Galway, along with Trinity College Dublin, the University of Nottingham, University College London, Cardiff University, Lund University, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, the University of Pennsylvania, and H/S Lundbeck in Denmark. These research projects receive financial support through various competitive funding channels.
Candidates should normally have a high honours standard in a relevant academic discipline at primary degree level or equivalent, together with the support of an academic staff member who is approved by the College to supervise the research in terms of its nature and scope.
