By now you have navigated to the home page for the Department of Cell and Molecular Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics at MUSC. Your reasons for doing so may vary. If you are a prospective student I hope that you will take the time to review the home pages for each of the investigators whose interest and work make up the focus of drug directed research at MUSC.
This is a period of consummate opportunity for students or postdoctoral fellows who may be interested in entering the department. A significant transformation, both at the infrastructural and faculty levels, will take place over the next few years. Renovated laboratory space and facilities will be created on the third floor of the Basic Science Building to house both existing and newly recruited faculty in an environment that will foster research, education and teaching. The department either has, or is in the process of recruiting, faculty whose interests encompass the disciplines of cancer, cardiovascular and neuropharmacology. The Proteomics Center is also housed within the department, and each of these provides an opportunity for students and postdoctoral fellows to gain expertise that will prepare them for careers in academics or the pharmaceutical sector.
Interdisciplinary research endeavors with other departments or with the Hollings Cancer Center ensure a broad base of educational possibilities. New faculty recruitment will continue over the next five to six years, resulting in an enthusiastic and progressive environment. The utility of drugs in the management of disease is not likely to diminish. Our department offers a wonderful opportunity to participate in, and contribute to, a greater understanding of drugs and how they work all in a geographic location conducive to a high quality of life.
