Welcome Message to Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University

Welcome to Department of Pharmacology at Faculty of Science, Mahidol University. It is my pleasure to introduce you our department which was the first Department of Pharmacology in Thailand, and is one of the major preclinical science departments, established in 1968 (B.E.2511) with the support from Rockefeller foundation.

Since being established, our department has over 160 alumni working nationwide all over Thailand. Currently, it has 11 faculties, 2 joint faculties and 17 graduate students. We offer broad range of research as well as constructive learning environment encouraging individual graduate student to be able to solve research questions in an independent manner. Besides, our department provides an academic curriculum for medical students and nurse students in pharmacology during their baccalaureate.
