Rupa Tuan, PhD
Assistant Adjunct Professor
What I do
As an assistant professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, I teach pharmacy students basic science pharmacology concepts throughout their didactic curriculum. I also direct the Renal Theme and the Neuroscience & Therapeutics Theme, which are integrated core courses in the first and second year. My research interests are in pharmacology education and, along with Stephanie Hsia, PharmD, I am developing and implementing the Health Equity Curriculum thread in the School of Pharmacy.
