Charles Hart, PhD, director of the Catalyst Program, joins Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Chair Michelle Arkin in the center’s ongoing collaboration with academics, government labs, and pharmaceutical companies to develop drug leads that address unmet medical needs.

Bhushan Kharbikar, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratories of Professors Qizhi Tang, PhD, and Tejal Desai, PhD, has been awarded a prestigious JDRF Advanced Postdoctoral Fellowship. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

Three students with ties to the School were finalists in the event, which challenges graduate students to explain their research to an audience of non-experts in just three minutes.

For the second year in a row, the UCSF School of Pharmacy team achieved the top spot in the professional development competition, which gives pharmacy students deeper knowledge––from the perspective of an industry pharmacist––of the skills required to bring a novel molecule to market. 

Leadership in research and innovation paired with an ever-evolving course of study keeps pace with diverse and dynamic careers in pharmacy and beyond.

The Preclinical Design and Clinical Translation of TB Regimens (PReDicTR) Consortium has been awarded a $30.8M grant over five years to research the most effective treatment options for future clinical testing.

School researchers netted $36.7M from 65 grants, fueling efforts spanning drug discovery, bioengineering, pharmacokinetics, clinical pharmacy, and more.
