Part of The Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences. A combined program of Weill Cornell Medical College and the Sloan-Kettering Institute, we are a premiere school in biomedical research. We are part of Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) but Weill Cornell Medical College is located in New York City. Read more about our programs of study:
The research activities of the Cornell Pharmacology Program faculty cover broad areas of modern pharmacological sciences. Faculty carry out research in cancer pharmacology, neuropharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, drug metabolism, toxicology, proteomics, molecular pharmacology, receptors and signal transduction, and drug design.
December 19, 2011: PHARMACOLOGY MAJORS AMONG MOST HIRED GRADUATES: The Wall Street Journal, using data from the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, has created an interactive tool where users can search for the average employment rate and median income of people who studied each major. Pharmacology is one of at least six fields of study whose graduates are virtually 100 percent employed right now.
