The disciplines of pharmacology and toxicology play a momentous role in human health today, and their applications in the professional world are vast. At the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology at Michigan State University, we combine integrative research, active learning and intellectual enrichment to prepare the student for advancement and leadership in their chosen field. From molecular and cellular levels to organ systems and whole animal models, our graduate and undergraduate programs encompass multiple areas of study, empowering students to challenge the boundaries of knowledge and chart their own unique path in the biomedical sciences.

At the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology, our educational mission is three-fold:
(1) To prepare the next generation of biomedical scientists with interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge in chosen disciplines, and the technical, professional and personal skills to become leaders.
(2) To teach the foundations of effective pharmacological diagnostics and therapies to students in the Colleges of Human, Osteopathic, and Veterinary Medicine.
(3) To instill the basic principles of pharmacology and toxicology that can be applied to all disciplines, thus expanding rather than narrowing students’ future career opportunities.
