Welcome.
World class education and research are products of the Mylan School of Pharmacy and Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Duquesne University. The Schools provide the programs, services and resources that facilitate the personal and professional growth of students and faculty, while providing the infrastructure to enable our faculty and students to address timely issues in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy practice.
In concert with the School and University mission statements, the faculty members of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences provide education and pursue research in four disciplines, including medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics and pharmacy administration. Funded by federal and state sources, the pharmaceutical industry, and other resources, our faculty pursue research in the following specific areas, to name a few: development of novel anticancer agents, prevention and treatment of drug abuse, development of pediatric dosage forms for the treatment of AIDS in children, diagnosis and treatment of neurological deficiencies associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, evaluation of natural remedies for improving menopausal symptoms and treating cancer, development of novel analytical methods for facilitation of process control systems enabling more efficient pharmaceutical manufacturing, and pharmacoeconomic appraisal of drug entities involving quality of life considerations and cost effectiveness.
Our graduate faculty offer research experiences in unique areas of discovery and are recognized nationally and internationally for their productivity. We have exciting and novel graduate curricula that offer students the ability to explore fascinating areas of research. Our graduate students compete successfully for post-doctoral positions throughout the country and have been placed in strategic research opportunities including government, pharmaceutical industry, and academia. |
