Located on Temple University's vibrant Health Sciences Center campus, the School of Pharmacy pursues research that bridges the gaps between drug discovery, preclinical  research and translational medicine. Our educational mission is to encourage future pharmaceutical scientists to pursue innovative and investigative exploration of these topics. Research projects in these areas form the basis for thesis-based doctoral research.

In recent years, the School of Pharmacy has enjoyed tremendous growth in our research enterprise, by establishing several centers of excellence for scientific study across a wide range of disciplines. The Temple University Drug Discovery Initiative, launched in 2010, has resulted in a substantial expansion of our research facilities and an increase in the number of talented and accomplished researchers joining our faculty and staff, providing excellent resources and mentoring for future pharmaceutical scientists.

Efforts of the school’s faculty and research staff are focused on multidisciplinary approaches to complex scientific problems associated with a number of challenging disease states. Funding for our research has been generously provided by several foundations, federal and state-funded grants, contract research programs and Temple University research awards. Members of our faculty have been recognized by outside scientific organizations with numerous honors, awards and invited lectureships.

The school also created the first non-thesis professional master’s program in Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance (RAQA) in 1968.  During the past five decades, its degree programs in this area have become widely recognized as the most comprehensive and extensive of their kind.  The School now offers four professional MS programs related to RA and QA including: the MS in RAQA, the MS in Global Clinical and Pharmacovigilance Regulations, the MS in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Sciences, and the MS in Advanced Biotherapeutics: Manufacturing and Regulatory Affairs (the latter is offered in partnership with Jefferson University). These concentrations allow students to augment their knowledge of the pharmaceutical sciences with a thorough understanding of regulatory and quality assurance practices.

The School of Pharmacy offers students the ideal combination of a high-quality education, dedicated faculty, active research programs, and a supportive atmosphere enlivened by diversity and community service.
