Pharmaceutical Sciences

Research in the Pharmaceutical Sciences focuses on a variety of areas including drug discovery, drug delivery, formulations, and drug mechanisms with the goal of improving therapeutics. The Pharmaceutical Sciences (PMSY) concentration will facilitate translational aspects of biomedical research as a result of the discipline's focus on solving practical problems associated with the physical properties of drugs, drug development and applications of drugs as usable products. Pharmaceutical Sciences is of benefit to all biomedical researchers who employ drugs as exploratory tools. Graduates from ETSU's program concentration in Pharmaceutical Sciences will fill needed positions in academia, industry and government nationwide as the demand for graduates with training in Pharmaceutical Sciences is comparatively high.

"I commend the support system provided by the professors and the coordinating body of the graduate program. As a graduate student in the pharmaceutical sciences concentration, I've had the opportunity to improve my scientific skills ranging from qualitative to quantitative analytical evaluation techniques and imaging analysis. Also of note are student engagement activities that occur in and outside of the classroom that have helped with improving my written and oral presentation skills."
