International Reputation

The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo of the State University of New York is considered one of the top departments in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and biopharmaceutics in the world. Many faculty members have received major research recognition and major funding:

Australia:

Iqbal Ramzan, Ph.D.

• Associate Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia.

• Post-doctoral Fellow and Research Assistant Professor (Univ at Buffalo, 1981-1985)

"The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Buffalo continues to maintain its status as the premier Department in the US if not the world. Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty not only excel at the "classical" disciplines of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Advanced Drug Delivery but are also embarking on cutting-edge research in the new areas of Molecular Genetics, Pharmacogenetics and Proteomics. Graduates of the Pharmaceutical Sciences doctoral program at Buffalo will be highly sought by Academic Institutions and Pharmaceutical Industry both in the US as well as internationally."

France:

Jean-Michel Scherrmann, Ph.D.

• Professor of Pharmacokinetics, University of Paris 5, France

• Head of Neuropharmacokinetics, INSERM, Paris, France

"From a French perspective, I would unhesitantly rank the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo as one of the international leaders among its peers. Researchers in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics from this department have contributed greatly to its high reputation during the past several decades. The heritage of excellence continues presently."

"In addition, the department has tuned on to the future applications of evolving areas, such as pharmacogenomics, to the pharmaceutical sciences. These developments will enable present and future graduates to compete successfully in contemporary research, and prepare them well for active recruitment and employment by the pharmaceutical industry and academia."

Israel:

Amnon Hoffman Ph.D.

• Professor of Pharmaceutics, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

• (Post-doctoral fellow, SUNY at Buffalo 1986-1989)

"The School of Pharmacy of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem had decided that the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the School of Pharmacy at SUNY Buffalo was the ideal choice for acquiring post-doctoral training that would provide me with the necessary skills for continuing in academia and establishing my own research group in the field of individual optimization of drug therapy. Ten years later I selected again to do a sabbatical year at this same Department, which I find to be the leading site for pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic research. It is very impressive that this department has succeeded in maintaining a high level of study in this rapidly progressing field for over 3 decades."

Korea:

Suk-Jae Chung, Ph.D.

• Associate Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Seoul National University

"The graduate training that I have received at State University of New York at Buffalo had a great impact on my carrier. Knowledge in pharmaceutical sciences that I gained from the training enabled me to identify pharmaceutically relevant research objectives and to carry out research projects. More importantly, my interactions with prominent faculties and members of alumni have been the foundations in the realization of my personal and professional goals."
