Pharmacology is the study of the effects of chemicals on living systems and may include
the study of individual molecules and cells, tissues or whole organisms. The field
of pharmacology occupies a central position in the continuum of biomedical sciences
such that there are often unclear boundaries between pharmacology and, for example,
the fields of toxicology, biochemistry, physiology, pathology and microbiology.
Training in this discipline offers the student a wide diversity of areas of inquiry
and may prepare the student for a broad range of career opportunities in academia,
industry and government.
