Research Education Opportunities

The University of Houston College of Pharmacy has a long-running tradition and commitment to developing the next generation of leaders in research through its professional pharmacy and graduate degree programs, residency/fellowship programs and postdoctoral training opportunities.

Yet, UHCOP also has well-established history in the successful training and development within the college-based laboratories of future researchers, scholars and clinicians from undergraduate and graduate academic programs outside of the college through the supervision and mentorship of award-winning UHCOP faculty members.

Here are a few examples of non-UHCOP undergraduate and graduate students who've acheived success in college labs:

Francisco Blanco, UH Honors Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences (B.S.), Student Poster Presentation Award & Travel Award, Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students, 2016
Ahad Azimuddin, UH Honors Biomedical Sciences (B.S.), Audience Choice Award, 11th Annual UH Undergraduate Research Day, 2015
Chalada Suebsuwong, Chemistry (Ph.D.), Robert A. Magarian Outstanding Podium Presentation Award, MALTO Medicinal Chemistry Meeting, 2015
Chalada Suebsuwong, Chemistry (Ph.D.), Thomas L. Lemke Outstanding Student Poster Presentation, MALTO Medicinal Chemistry Meeting, 2013
