Pharmacology Program
 
Website: http://www.usuhs.mil/pha
 
Pharmacology is concerned with the actions of chemicals (including drugs) on biological systems. Modern pharmacological research is directed at elucidating the mechanisms of drug action at the molecular, cellular systems, and behavioral levels, and the application of this knowledge to the rational and effective use of existing drugs, and to the development of novel therapeutic agents. The USU Department of Pharmacology provides instructional programs on the nature and mechanisms of actions of drugs and their therapeutic applications.
