Mission STATEMENT
The mission of the Department of Pharmacodynamics is to excel in teaching, research, and service. Our research program aspires to offer a unique perspective on drug development, targeting, and validation via detailed studies of basic physiology, pathophysiology, and drug action in both peripheral and central systems. Work performed in Departmental laboratories contributes directly to both the educational and research mission of the University, College, and Department as described by the Board of Governors and the University of Florida.
Graduates of our Ph.D. program will be well prepared for a range of careers in academic research, industry, education, and regulatory agencies. Departmental faculty also aspire to excel in professional service in both intramural and extramural capacities. These additional professional activities support the broader research enterprise in the State and Nation, contribute to University and College governance, disseminate knowledge, and serve the public good.
