Here, our dynamic research spans drug interaction, from discovery to development to clinical application. We are leading developments in precision pharmacotherapy, resulting in improved patient outcomes and improvements for future public policy initiatives. At UB, we are proud of our world-renowned researchers who challenge scientific boundaries and define the future of medication research.

To support students and faculty, the school also houses individual faculty research laboratories and robust research centers in both the Department of Pharmacy Practice and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
