University of Basel, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences ^{Universities & Institutes}

The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences is characterized by its broad and internationally successful research throughout the entire drug development process. Topics range from the discovery and optimization of active ingredients, their effects and possible side effects, to the production of suitable drug forms and their application to patients. The pharmaceutical sciences are deliberately translational in orientation, i.e. they form a bridge between the basic research-oriented disciplines of the Faculty of Philosophy and Natural Sciences and the clinical disciplines of the Medical Faculty.
