Pharmacology department was established in 1968 (B.E.2511) with a financial boost from the Rockefeller Foundation, New York. Its main obligations are to teach pharmacology to both medical and nursing students as well as to produce graduate students leading to both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree.

Our department provides teaching for 1^st and 2^nd year medical students in collaboration with other life science departments, and Basic Pharmacology for 2^nd year nursing students. There are 2 graduate programs, for M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Pharmacology.

Up to the present time, more than 200 graduates with either M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree have been graduated from this department. The graduates also include those from Asian countries. They all returned home after completion of their degree program and now many of them play important academic and administrative roles in their countries. As for the Thai graduates, many of them work all over the country in the universities, research institutes, and governmental agencies, such as FDA.
