The TTUHSC School of Pharmacy reorganized its science-based research faculty in 2009 to create two departments: the long-standing Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the newly formed Department of Biomedical Sciences. Together these two departments are comprised of 23 research-based faculty, two academic faculty and nearly 60 postdoctoral associates, graduate students and technicians in Amarillo and Abilene.
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences researchers use the latest research protocols related to modern drug development, targeting and formulation to focus upon critical research areas such as pharmacology, pharmaceutics, biochemistry, immunology and pharmacokinetics.
Investigators within the Department of Biomedical Sciences employ integrated research to take advantage of cutting-edge molecular advances in biology and medicine as they focus their research upon cancer biology, immunology, vascular biology, cell signaling, immunotherapy, cell biology, molecular biology and neurobiology.
Each year the combined SOP sciences faculty receive millions of dollars in research funding from the National Institutes of Health and other government, foundation and pharmaceutical industry entities. They also contribute more than 60 semester credit hours of teaching to the SOP’s Pharm.D. curriculum and administer the Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences, which is part of the TTUHSC Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
