Pharmacology is broadly defined as a discipline that investigates the effects
of chemical interventions on biological systems. The UCSD program is renowned
for its strength in elucidating basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of
signal transduction that lead to drug target identification and ultimately
to drug discovery. Many of the department's research efforts impact directly
on human health, supported by NIH grants on the genetics of hypertension,
cardiovascular regulation, cancer, and neurological and inflammatory diseases.
