As the sole State-supported School of Pharmacy in Louisiana, this academic entity provides unique areas of research expertise to the State, and the Nation at large, in the interrelated disciplines of pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, natural products chemistry, and pharmacology. The department participates in the teaching mission of the College of Pharmacy at both the professional (Pharm.D.) and Graduate (Ph.D.) programs.
Research in the Department of Basic Pharmaceutical Sciences (BPS) crosses disciplinary boundaries, linking bio- and analytical chemistry, cell biology, and anatomy and physiology, in established programs focused on the interaction of chemicals with biological systems. The establishment of collaborative interactions between BPS faculty and Materials Research Scientists in Louisiana, with mutual interests in fundamental atomic and molecular structure, underscores the compatibility of research objectives and strategies between these groups concerning biomaterials characterization, and the significant potential for unique contributions within this emerging scientific niche
Our outstanding faculty, preceptors, and staff members are dedicated to facilitating student realization of their full potential. This dedication is exemplified by our research faculty in the Ph.D. Graduate Program continuing to demonstrate a commitment to cooperative and collaborative research. This commitment to collaboration allows their graduate students to be exposed to a multitude of methodologies and techniques that would not be possible otherwise.
Ph.D. graduates of the ULM Graduate Program in Pharmacy are in demand. We have seen recent graduate placement in academia, government affairs, large and
