Pharmacology focuses on discovering, analyzing, and assessing drugs used as medications or research tools to better understand health and disease. It also examines drug safety and how medications are absorbed, processed, and eliminated by the body. Our program investigates how immune system mechanisms can be harnessed for innovative treatments like vaccines.
