About Us

Our mission today reflects the same goals and values that have guided us for over a century.

• We conduct basic and translational research in the fields of Pharmacology and Physiology, with a particular emphasis on neuropharmacology and neurophysiology.
• Our research aims to improve human health through scientific discovery and translation.
• We train the next generation of scientists and physicians in the disciplines of Pharmacology and Physiology.
• We are guided by the Jesuit concept of cura personalis, which translates as “care of the whole person.” This is realized through individualized attention to the needs of others, distinct respect for unique circumstances and concerns, and an appropriate appreciation for singular gifts and insights.
