## Abstract

Abstract
The Training Program in Pharmacological Sciences at Stony Brook University trains Ph.D. students in the broad
area of Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology for careers in academia, government, and industry. The Program
is based in the Department of Pharmacological Sciences in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook
University, but is interdisciplinary and interdepartmental in nature. It includes 42 potential mentors, 31 of whom
are from other (i.e., non-Pharmacological Sciences) University Departments or the nearby Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratories. Students take courses in Basic Principles and Systems Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology,
and Experimental Methods. The Training Program provides training in quantitative research skills, scientific
communication and writing, and supports multiple career development activities, training in rigor and
reproducibility and in the responsible conduct of research. The interdisciplinary training environment includes
active seminar series and participation in research symposia, workshops, and retreats. Training also involves
teaching in courses offered to undergraduate majors in pharmacology. First year students participate in three
laboratory rotations to prepare them to undertake dissertation research in any of the laboratories of the Training
Program Faculty. The Training Program has trained more than 170 Ph.D. students in its 45-year history who
have launched successful research-intensive or research-related careers after graduation, as well as 52 highly
diverse current trainees who are on track for future career success.
