School of Pharmacy

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.

The programs are aimed at reducing the health care disparities of pharmacy deserts by cultivating interest in pharmacy careers among underserved communities.

The Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology faculty member was selected by students to answer: If you had but one lecture to give, what would you say?

School leaders discussed updates on UCSF’s pharmacy programs, including new pipeline programs and reorganization of the educational unit, emphasizing the importance of showcasing diverse career paths and bridging the gap between basic science research and pharmacy education.

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.

The California Pharmacists Association (CPhA) and the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP) hosted a grassroots event to offer insight to legislation affecting the profession of pharmacy.

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.
