## Abstract

Abstract
The Training Program in Pharmacological Sciences at Stony Brook University trains Ph.D.
students in the broad area of cell and molecular Pharmacology for careers in academia,
government and industry. The Program is based in the Department of Pharmacological
Sciences in the School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, but is interdisciplinary and
interdepartmental in nature. It includes 38 potential mentors, 24 of whom are from other
University Departments or the nearby Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Students take courses in
Physiology, as well as basic principles and systems Pharmacology. 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 and workshops. 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
nearly 150 Ph.D. students in its 39-year history, and has 25 current trainees. The presence of
six underrepresented minority trainees and three students with disabilities currently in the
program attests to a successful effort to recruit minority applicants.
