The Division of Clinical Pharmacology in the Department of Medicine at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is one of the oldest in the world and has a long history of laboratory and clinical research, teaching, and service activities. Areas of investigation range across the spectrum of pharmacology: identification of promising drug targets; preclinical studies of lead compounds; modeling of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships; pharmacogenetics and personalized medicine; studies of kinetics, metabolism, safety and efficacy of drugs in humans; rational use of drugs in clinical practice. We foster productive research collaborations across various departments within the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health, and the School of Arts and Sciences. Our faculty play a pivotal role in the acclaimed Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation, the nation's first PhD program of its kind. The Division is composed of 15 faculty, 17 staff, with active research funding totaling over $15M. The Division holds two endowments, the Paul S. Lietman Endowed Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology and the Wellcome Professorship in Clinical Pharmacology (held by the Division Director). Throughout its history, and by means of its research and teaching missions, Clinical Pharmacology has shaped the future of pharmacological research and education and continues the tradition of bringing a molecular perspective to clinical investigation.  

 

The Director is the spokesperson for the faculty of the Division. Responsibilities include promoting faculty; recruiting and appointing new faculty; overseeing educational, clinical and research programs; and planning short term and long-term strategic growth.
