The Department of Pharmacy is devoted to teaching and research related to the development, manufacturing and use of pharmaceuticals. The Pharmacy discipline is broad with interfaces on science, technology and social studies. The Department thus benefits from being located at the BMC and close to the Ångström and Rudbeck laboratories, three multidisciplinary research and teaching centers at Uppsala University.
Research programme
The Department centers its research on three areas, namely Drug Delivery, Rational
Drug Usage and Pharmaceutical Materials Science. The research is developed
by a series of research groups, some of international prominence. The research
groups represent a unique cluster of academic competences in Sweden and Department
of Pharmacy has thus a key role in the development of the pharmacy discipline
in Sweden. For an overview of the profiles of the research groups, go to
