The Indiana University School of Medicine provides a PhD program in pharmacology and toxicology, enabling students to customize their academic paths and engage in research across various fields including drug development, cancer studies, neuroscience, immunology, microbiology, and toxicology.
This doctoral program cultivates independent researchers in pharmacological and toxicological sciences. Through molecular biology, biochemistry, chemistry, and physiological methods, students must achieve competence in both theoretical and practical aspects of contemporary biomedical research while conducting original, impactful investigations in pharmacology and toxicology. A comprehensive foundation in biological disciplines—such as biochemistry, cell biology, molecular genetics, physiology, and neuroscience—is essential for pharmacology and toxicology scholars to effectively combine biological system knowledge with pharmaceutical compound effects.
