Our department belongs to Sweden’s only Faculty of Pharmacy. The faculty is the foundation for research and education about all aspects of pharmaceutical drug discovery, development and management. The department aims to provide an international environment where researchers, teachers, graduate students, visiting scientists, students, technical/administrative staff can focus on scientific issues relevant for future drug development. Education and research are conducted within several fields of life science.

The Department is organised into various research groups working from the molecular level to the population level and within several different disciplines. Our projects generally aim to increase the knowledge about pharmacokinetics, metabolism and mechanisms of actions and adverse effects of drugs. The teaching is conducted by professors, senior and junior lecturers as well as researchers and PhD students. The Department is centrally located within the large Uppsala University Biomedical Center (BMC) and has approximately 110 employees on staff as well as many scholarship holders and guest researchers.
