Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology

Welcome to the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. Our vibrant and collegial faculty, students, and staff use state-of-the-art facilities to pursue research across pharmacology and toxicology domains, with strengths in cardiovascular, neuro-, and cancer pharmacology and environmental, immuno-, and neurotoxicology. We have multiple collaborations with scientists across the campus and with academic, government, and industrial scientists outside the university. The Department has a sustained commitment to inter-disciplinary research and maintains strong extramural funding.

Our doctoral concentration in Pharmacology and Toxicology is part of a Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. umbrella program. This flexible, research-based program is designed to develop the interests, capabilities, and expertise of tomorrow’s biomedical scientists. The School of Medicine sponsors an MS program that is a significant source of students who complete thesis research with our faculty. We are strongly committed to professional education for medical, dental, and nursing students.
