The Division of Clinical Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine welcomes you. Please visit our website here for a detailed tour of our program. We are one of the oldest and largest Divisions of Clinical Pharmacology in the world. Founded in 1963, the scientific mission of the division is to understand mechanisms of drug action in humans in order to improve therapeutics. As such, our research bridges basic pharmacology and the clinical sciences and, consequently, Clinical Pharmacology is poised to make significant advances in both basic and translational research.

Clinical Pharmacology at Vanderbilt is vibrant. With over 35 faculty and 25 postdoctoral fellows, members of the division are engaged in a wide variety of research efforts. The division integrates with other efforts in the pharmacological sciences at Vanderbilt including the Department of Pharmacology, the Vanderbilt Institute for Chemical Biology, and the Center in Molecular Toxicology. The six main areas of research interest within the division include: 1) pharmacogenetics and drug disposition and metabolism, 2) fatty acid oxidation and lipid mediator pharmacology, 3) ion channel pharmacology and arrhythmia pharmacogenomics, 4) human cardiovascular pharmacology and autonomic dysfunction, 5) bone and cancer pharmacology, and 6) pharmacoepidemiology.

We offer rigorous fellowship training in the discipline to prepare individuals for careers in academia, industry, or government.

We invite you to explore our website www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/clinicalpharmacology/ and the division in order to gain a better understanding of the opportunities available for research and training in Clinical Pharmacology at Vanderbilt.
