Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology

Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology

The Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology (JGPT) is an interdepartmental program designed to train students and postdoctoral fellows in the discipline of toxicology. The JGPT offers MS and PhD degrees and provides the research training for PharmD/PhD and MD/PhD students.

The JGPT was established in 1980 and is administratively housed at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ. The JGPT curriculum provides broad research training in biochemical, organ system, and mechanistic toxicology with a strong foundation in drug metabolism, pathology, and molecular biology. The Program is administratively housed in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, but draws on mentors come from over 17 different departments on campus to provide multidisciplinary training. Trainees are mentored by over 50 faculty members and academic and industry partners. A NIEHS T32 Training Grant in Environmental Toxicology has been the cornerstone of the JGPT for 30 years and supports the tuition and stipends of doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. All doctoral students receive financial support from training grants, teaching or research fellowships, or from local industry.

In addition to preparing students to become the next generation of toxicologists, the JGPT provides trainees with career opportunities to develop their teaching, mentorship, publishing and leadership skills and participate in community outreach. Students in the JGPT receive national recognition for their outstanding achievements. Alumni of the JGPT hold challenging and exciting positions in the pharmaceutical, chemical and consumer product industries, government, and top research and teaching universities. Contact us for more information.

Visit the website of the Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology for a comprehensive overview, including information on faculty, students, curriculum, admissions, facilities, resources, and more.
