University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine Pharmacology PO Box 6511, MS 8303 Aurora, CO 80045 US   Phone: 1-303-724-3565 Fax: 1-303-724-3663   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Doctoral Ph.D.- Pharmacology On Campus   The Department's primary areas of interest include cell biology, drugs of abuse, genomics/bioinformatics, neuroscience, signal transduction, and structural biology. Since the faculty members' fields of expertise and interests are notably broad-based, programs of study are tailored to meet each student's individual career goals. Supported by the Department's strong commitment to research, the graduate training program is designed to prepare students for independent careers in the full range of pharmacological disciplines. The philosophy of our graduate program is to emphasize state-of-the-art research approaches at all stages, beginning with the recruitment phase. We identify candidates with excellent academic credentials, with a strong preference for those who have participated in independent research. During the first year in the program, students must complete three formal laboratory-based research rotations. Each research rotation is intended to examine testable hypotheses, as well as to provide exposure to new laboratory techniques. The most important recent development has been the move to the new state-of-the-art Research Complex One at the new Anschutz Medical Campus. The faculty have worked jointly to create new centers of research excellence, the most impressive of which is the new ultra high field NMR system, operating at 900 MHz. UCHSC now hosts one of the few nuclear magnetic resonance imaging machines of this caliber in the country. In addition, the faculty have set up a Gene Array/Affymetrix Center, a Molecular Structure computational center called “The Model Room,” an X-Ray Crystallography Center, a large Mass Spectrometry Center, the Center for Computation Pharmacology, the Center for Computational Biosimulation which includes a ninety-six node Beowulf cluster of Apple dual-G5 processor servers, and the Fluorescence Microscopy Imaging Center, as well as newly modernized facilities for Metabolomics, Genomics, Lipid Mapping, and Proteomics.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's  Pre-Requisite Courses Suggested college courses include inorganic and organic chemistry; biology; mathematics, including calculus; and physics.  International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
