Support the Development of New Drug Treatments

Transform the future of pharmacology research

Join the campaign for Michigan Pharmacology

Michigan Pharmacology, founded in 1891, was the first department of its kind in the nation. During our long and distinguished history, we have played a key role in advancing the field and training top pharmacologists.

Many of today’s lifesaving medical advances rely on drug discovery. Your support fuels new options in cancer treatment, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease care, diabetes treatment, and countless other areas that give hope to so many people.

Please help us continue to transform the future of medicine. We invite you to join our campaign.

Our $30 million fundraising goals include:

  • Long-term support to sustain our programs and initiatives into the future
  • Flexible funding for bold, innovative ideas and to secure essential research projects
  • Support of the Edward F. Domino Research Center, where pharmacology meets psychology
  • Developing the pharmacology leaders and experts of tomorrow
  • Funding for state-of-the art laboratory technology to keep our discoveries on the cutting edge
  • Flexible support to meet our department’s most pressing needs and pioneering new ideas as they arise
