Either build on your master's-level knowledge or start directly on your PhD examining the behavior of chemical substances at the molecular level and conducting research related to the development of new drugs and novel targets. In this PhD program at our Boston campus, youll have the opportunity to work alongside professional experts in modern laboratories and learn how to design, synthesize, analyze, and test new drug compounds. Youll study how chemical substances behave at a molecular level and how the chemical properties affect drug kinetics, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Youll also participate in research directed toward a fuller understanding of pharmacological actions that lead to improved drug design. The program starts in the fall. Our research-and-development focused curriculum prepares you for roles at the frontier of drug discovery and enhancement in the pharmaceutical industry. Youll work side-by-side with globally respected faculty working on novel drug targets and diseases.
