University of Colorado AMC - Pharmacology Graduate Training Program

h as second messengers, lipid mediators, and protein phosphorylation. Specialties emphasized in the department include molecular pharmacology, neurobiology, neuropharmacology, electrophysiology, substance abuse, lipid mediators, and cancer biology. The methodologies employed in these fields of study include molecular structure techniques, computational pharmacology, genomics, and proteomics. The scientific impact of research from this faculty is rated among the highest of all departments of pharmacology. Research Facilities:
The department occupies over 43,000 square feet, consisting largely in laboratories fully equipped for pharmacological research. The modern instrumentation available to the department includes complete facilities for performing radioisotopic experiments; a cutting-edge NMR facility for protein structural studies (including one of the few 900MHz magnets currently available in the country); facilities for recombinant DNA expression, manual and automated sequencing, PCR amplification, microarray analysis, and oligonucleotide synthesis; computerized equipment for performing electrophysiological image analysis, and behavioral studies; mass spectrometers; a large variety of gas, high-performance liquid, and other forms of chromatographic equipment, spectrophotofluorometers, and spectrometers; and analytical and preparative ultracentrifuges. UCD Pharmacology provides a complete, state-of-the-art-technology environment for its students in the newly constructed Research Complex One facility at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Financial Aid/Cost of Studies:
Fellowships and traineeships are available for the entire period of graduate work for students who maintain satisfactory progress. Student support includes all tuition and fees, individual health and dental insurance, and provides an annual stipend of $31,000 as of 2020. Applying:
Applicants should apply by December 15 for admission for the following academic year, beginning in the fall. Suggested college courses include inorganic and organic chemistry; biology; mathematics, including calculus; and physics. Results of the General Test of Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) should be sent when the original application is submitted.
