Duke’s Pharmacology and Cancer Biology is unique among US basic biomedical science departments as it encompasses two broad and overlapping disciplines. Our faculty members are remarkably diverse and use all of the tools available to biomedical scientists to address questions critical to fundamental biology and human health. The faculty members share the common goal of exploiting cellular signaling pathways to address a myriad of important scientific questions relevant to cancer, metabolism, nervous system function, drugs of abuse and environmental toxicants. Among Pharmacology departments we are ranked 4th by US News and World Report, 4th by the National Research Council and 9th in NIH funding. It is a privilege to welcome you to our website and we encourage you to learn more about the opportunities in research, training and education offered by this exciting and dynamic department.
