Division of Pharmacology
The Division is part of the Department of Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Stellenbosch University, Tygerberg Campus. Our Toxicology laboratory provides a 24-hour therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and toxicology analytical service to Tygerberg Academic Hospital as well as to other hospitals in the Cape Peninsula. The Tygerberg Poison Information Centre (http://www.sun.ac.za/poisoncentre) offers a 24-hour Toxicology/Pharmacology consultation service nationally as well as to other countries beyond the borders of the RSA. Undergraduate teaching, involving medical students is integrated into practical, clinically orientated curricula. Contributions to the integrated courses are made at all levels, from the first up to the final year of study. Our BSc Honours course is structured to allow students active participation in research programmes in the Division. Concurrently a series of lectures and discussions cover current aspects of clinical pharmacology and molecular pharmacology/biology. The full time MSc programme consists of an entirely research-based project. The PhD course also is a full-time and entirely research-based programme.
