Richard Marrero, Pharm.D., Ph.D.
My time in the graduate program at the UF College of Pharmacy has been incredibly rewarding and helped me grow both professionally and personally. I’ve had the opportunity to connect with peers and leaders in the field while presenting my research at national conferences, which has been especially meaningful. The mentorship I’ve received from experts in both clinical practice and research has been a highlight of my experience. Being part of a top-ranked College of Pharmacy with such a strong research focus has made it an inspiring and supportive place to learn and develop.

Zachary Greenberg, Ph.D.
The graduate program provides the foundation that makes a truly transformative pharmaceutical scientist. My career would be minuscule without the everlasting, unified support from the staff (shoutout to Kim, Katie, Raf, and Matt!), the entire college faculty, and my mentors. The college is my place of comfort, a place where I may always return to share my knowledge and experiences and help grow future generations of pharmaceutical scientists.
