This multidisciplinary graduate program has a dual focus on pharmaceutical sciences – including molecular and systems pharmacology, drug development and delivery, therapeutic bioengineering, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics – and pharmacogenomics, the application of genetics and genomics to drug action and disposition.</p> <p>Large multidisciplinary research projects, focusing on membrane transporter pharmacogenetics and quantitative systems pharmacology, provide students with cross-disciplinary training in pharmacology, human genetics, and computational biology.</p> <h3>Faculty</h3> <p>More than 80 faculty members are associated with the PSPG program across more than 20 departments at UCSF. The PSPG faculty developed the foundation for current principles regarding the kinetics of drug action and variability in drug response, and it includes members of the National Academy of Sciences.</p> <p>The PSPG program is a member of the <a href="https://qbc.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Quantitative Biosciences Consortium</a> (QBC) at UCSF.</p> <h3>Sub-Disciplines</h3> <ul> <li>Pharmacogenomics and functional genomics</li> <li>Quantitative and systems pharmacology</li> <li>Computational genomics</li> <li>Molecular pharmacology</li> <li>Drug development sciences</li> <li>Therapeutic bioengineering</li> </ul> <p>The PSPG program office is located at the Mission Bay campus. Visit the <a href="https://pspg.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">program website</a> for more information.</p> <p>The PSPG program is offered by the UCSF Graduate Division, administered by the UCSF School of Pharmacy, and delivered by faculty members in the UCSF schools of pharmacy and medicine.</p> <h2>Learning Outcomes</h2> <ul> <li><em>Find <a href="https://pspg.ucsf.edu/about" target="_blank">learning outcomes information</a> on the program website</em>.</li> </ul> <h2>Additional Information</h2> <h3>Program Core Faculty</h3> <ul> <li class="xxmsonormal"><em>Find a <a href="https://pspg.ucsf.edu/people/faculty" target="_blank">program faculty list</a> on the program website</em>.</li> </ul> <h3>Career Outcomes</h3> <ul> <li><em>Find <a href="https://graduate.ucsf.edu/program-statistics#career" target="_blank">career outcomes and other data on PhD programs</a> on the Graduate Division website</em>.</li> </ul></div> <div id="requirementstextcontainer" class="page_content tab_content" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="requirementstexttab" aria-hidden="true"> <a name="requirementstext"></a><h2>Degree Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Minimum GPA of 3.0</li> <li>All core courses and required activities taken and passed</li> <li>Six quarters in residence including a minimum of three registered quarters after advancement to candidacy</li> <li>Pass qualifying examination</li> <li>Completion and submission of the dissertation</li> <li>For additional details, please see: <a href="https://graduate.ucsf.edu/phd-degree" target="_blank">graduate.ucsf.edu/phd-degree</a></li> </ul> <p>Obtaining a PhD from UCSF signifies that a student has demonstrated the ability to perform and complete high-quality research that makes an original contribution to their field. In practice, the expectation is that at least one first-author paper is "in press" before the thesis is signed. Learning to respond to reviewer critiques is a critical part of graduate training. There is, however, no simple bureaucratic formula to determine what is sufficient, and often the body of work forming a thesis is reported in multiple first-author publications; there are way too many scenarios, and so we rely on the judgment of the thesis committees to make the evaluation of a substantial and original contribution to science.</p> <p><strong>General Principles:</strong> The thesis committee has broad authority to determine when a student has completed a sufficient body of scientific work to graduate, literally by "signing off" on the thesis. In rare cases, the Executive Committee and the program director may become involved in the process, e.g., if the student and his/her adviser do not agree on when it is appropriate for the student to graduate. In no case is it acceptable for a student to ask their committee to sign their thesis solely because they have accepted a job or wish to "move on" for one reason or another. The degree will not be granted until the thesis committee is satisfied that the requirements for graduation have been met, e.g., by completing the publication process for a critical portion of the thesis, regardless of whether the student remains "in residence" at UCSF.</p> <h2>Core Courses</h2> <table pdfnorepeatheader="true" class="sc_plangrid"> <caption>Plan of Study Grid</caption><colgroup>
