Endowed professorships are among the highest honors a college can bestow on a faculty member and are reserved for scholars of national and international acclaim.

In parallel efforts, we are carrying out studies to reveal the function and action of genes/proteins that are putatively involved in cancer, aging and neurodegeneration. Candidate genes identified by high-throughput genome-wide cDNA and RNAi screening are subjected to molecular and biological characterization including structure-function studies in cell- and animal-based models. The ultimate goal is to...

The University of Florida College of Pharmacy on Feb.16, held its 25th Annual Research Showcase and Awards Recognition day. Keynote Speaker Maria Miralles, Ph.D., a senior pharmaceutical management advisor for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), provided insight into the Global Heath research objectives and funding opportunities for investigators through the USAID. A...

The symposium featured nearly 130 participants and plenary speakers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Scripps Research Institute-Florida and National Cancer Institute.

A logo brings a brand to life and is the signature mark that helps convey the College of Pharmacy’s connection to the University of Florida, a national leader in higher education. Consistent and constant usage of the UF College of Pharmacy logo strengthens the brand. A list of official UF-approved logos for the College of Pharmacy is provided below....
