The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation has pledged $1 million to The UCLA Foundation to fund an endowed chair in clinical pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Clinical pharmacology bridges the gap between laboratory science and the practice of medicine with the goal of maximizing drug benefits and minimizing negative side effects for patients. The clinical pharmacology program at UCLA studies issues related to drug interactions, the individual’s response to drugs and how different ethnicities metabolize drugs.
The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation Endowed Chair in Interdepartmental Clinical Pharmacology will augment research in this emerging discipline while reinforcing the importance of clinical pharmacology education at the Geffen School of Medicine, which is internationally recognized for excellence in the field.
