Outside of the labs, our faculty and staff help you secure internships, conference participation, and membership and leadership in scientific organizations, including Temple’s American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists Student Chapter. They coordinate the annual events GRADSCAN and Research and Recognition Day, providing forums for presenting your research and networking.

Located in Philadelphia, the school is among the pharmaceutical industry hubs of the Northeastern United States. Our home on the Temple University Health Sciences Center campus is a nucleus of healthcare delivery, education, and research.

 

Drug Discovery is the chemical approach to understanding the biological effects of drugs and integrates organic chemistry pharmacology, biochemistry physiology, and molecular biology.

Drug Delivery is a discipline of dosage form design and integrates drug delivery drug formulation, and drug pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics is the area within pharmacology that refers to the changes in the quantity of drug and/or drug metabolite in various body compartments over time. These changes can be described by four processes: absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Pharmacokinetic studies are initiated at the start of drug discovery and are critical throughout the lifetime of a drug, from early discovery to development, marketing and post-marketing safety evaluations.
