About Us
Several contextual elements point to a growing demand for training, research and development in the various disciplines included in the pharmaceutical sciences. Population growth and aging, and, even more so, the increasing complexity of health conditions, justify the need to undertake activities that can lead to the discovery of new drugs, their commercialization and their safe management.
Pharmaceutical Sciences
Pharmaceutical Sciences combine a broad range of scientific disciplines that are critical to the discovery and development of new drugs and therapies.
They include, but are not limited to, the following main disciplines:
- Pharmacy
- Biomedical Sciences
- Medicinal Chemistry
- Toxicology
- Drug discovery, design and delivery
- Structure and function of targeted receptors
- Clinical pharmacology and translational research
- Pharmaceutical analysis and quality, including quality assurance
- Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug metabolism
- Pharmacogenomics
- Drug and intestinal flora (microbiome) interactions

The SIMM-UOttawa Joint Research Center on Systems and Personalized Pharmacology:
The development of new therapeutic approaches requires diverse expertise from the fields of chemistry, biology and clinical practice. The University of Ottawa and the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica (SIMM) have created a joint research centre for the development of new compounds to fight certain diseases. While SIMM contributes its expertise in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and high-throughput experimentation, the University of Ottawa brings its expertise in bioassay development and compound validation.
