Chair's Welcome

 The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Welcomes You

We offer you our warmest welcome to the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, located in the new 270,000 sq ft Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the gateway to the Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University.  Are you a student with a degree in the biological or physical sciences who wants to improve human health and safety ?  The Pharmaceutical Sciences span basic to multidisciplinary and translational aspects of human health, including the conception, discovery, formulation, delivery, action and safety of therapeutic drugs and other agents.  Our PhD and MS programs provide a stimulating and supportive environment for your advanced education and for the successful completion of your original research project.  PhD candidates receive Graduate Research Assistantships consisting of competitive stipends, remission of tuition and full health insurance.  The department is also home to research-intensive programs of study covering a wide range of specialized areas for outstanding postdoctoral fellows and undergraduates.  Become one of our graduates - they are changing the world, one step at a time - by joining our academic tradition, and a family that prizes excellence, collegiality and making a difference locally and globally. 

Whether you select our department or a similarly outstanding program, you have my best wishes for success in all of your professional endeavors.
