Pharmacology and Molecular Therapeutics(PMT)

Study Program Director: Gerry Blobe, MD, PhD
 
The Pharmacology and Molecular Therapeutics Study Program offers third year medical students an in-depth, mentored basic and/or translational research experience. Faculty members in this study track come from numerous departments, including Biochemistry, Biology, Cell Biology, Medicine, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Pharmacology & Cancer Biology. Faculty in the program focus on determining mechanisms of human disease, targeting signal transduction pathways for the treatment of human disease and determining how drugs affect humans.  The major emphasis of the PMT program is on a student-generated research project conducted in close association with a faculty mentor. In addition, a weekly seminar series, the Signal Transduction Colloquium, exposes participating students to a variety of topics presented by experts in the various relevant fields of research. Finally, with the permission of their mentor and study program director, students may take course work to complement their research interests or future career goals.
