Professor. D. Rollins.
Pharmacology deals with the properties and effects of drugs and how they
interact with living systems. Toxicology is concerned with toxicities of
drugs and other chemicals and the demonstration of the safety and hazards
of such substances.
The department offers instruction in pharmacology and toxicology. Unusually
fine instrumentation and ongoing research programs provide a stimulating
learning environment for both undergraduate and graduate students. Teaching
and research capabilities of the department are enhanced by the facilities
of the Center for Human Toxicology and the Anticonvulsant Drug Development
Program. No undergraduate degree is offered by the department.
