This is an exciting time for the Division. Through strategic recruiting, the Division has more than doubled our numbers of faculty members and graduate students over the past two years. This puts the Division in a strong and unique position both within The Ohio State University campus and also nationally among similar Divisions and Departments at other Colleges of Pharmacy to impact change in the broad field of Pharmaceutics. The Division of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry aims to translate the science of drug delivery through education and cutting edge research. Topics such as pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, designing of advanced drug delivery systems, formulation of biotechnological therapeutics, and identifying new therapeutic targets are included in this division. The Division's world-renowned research program includes collaborative efforts with other units on campus such as the Comprehensive Cancer Center, Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility, and Center for Affordable Nanoengineering of Polymeric Biomedical Devices. Furthermore, the Division collaborates with several Colleges across the University including Medicine, Biological Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine. Division members teach drug delivery systems, pharmacokinetics, and biopharmaceutics to BSPS, PharmD, and graduate students. PhD graduates of the division enter careers in the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and governmental agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Division transforms drug delivery research and education to advance the field of pharmaceutics.
