天津大学药物科学与技术学院（以下简称“药学院”）于2000年8月成立，2001年正式招生，首任院长为赵康教授。名誉院长为中国工程院院士沈家祥教授。2013年，Jay Siegel教授担任药学院第二任院长。2014年初药学院入选国家外专局、教育部联合推出的“高校国际化示范学院推进计划”，成为全国首批四个试点学院之一。

 

从2015年起，药学本科国际实验班开始招生。目前已建立并实施国内首个“药学专业本-硕-博全英文人才培养体系”。学院目前设有药学本科专业，药学硕士点（含药物化学、药物分析学、微生物与生化药学、药剂学、药理学和生药学六个方向）及卫生事业与药事管理硕士、应用化学和卫生事业与药事管理两个博士点（依托化工学院及管理学部），可招收硕士、博士研究生和博士后人员从事研究工作。学院建有国家中药材产业体系栽培与土肥功能研究室、天津市药物传递与功能高效化重点实验室、天津市分子科学国际联合研究中心、天津市中药注射剂关键技术校企协同创新实验室。

 

学院现有教师63名，含教授33名、副教授24名。外籍教师占比43%。

 

学院药学实验教学中心投入设备总价值约500万元，面积约2千平米，入选“天津市高校实验教学示范中心”。同时，学院测试平台中总价值8千余万的仪器设备全部面向本科生开放使用。2019年，学院虚拟仿真实验教学项目获批国家级金课。

 

天津大学药学专业已日渐成为国际学术舞台上，专家和学生关注和聚焦的教学及科研平台。3名诺贝尔奖获得者，5名各国院士担任我院顾问委员会委员。仅2019年，学院就接待8位外国院士、3位诺贝尔奖得主等多位世界顶级学术大师。

 

药学院已经确立了明确的国际化发展建设目标，并正在逐渐成为国际知名的教学及科研中心。History

 

 

 

 

A History of SPST

 

 

 

 

The School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (SPST) was founded in August 2000 and ratified by the TianJin University (TJU) Board, developed primarily by its founding Dean Zhao Kang, a PhD from Columbia University and Prof. Shen Jiaxiang，academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering with a PhD from London University (now as UCL School of Pharmacy) as the Dean Emeritus.

 

 

 

 

SPST is one of the youngest schools in TJU that was founded in 1895 as Peiyang University by Charles Daniel Tennay (US) and Sheng XuanHuai (CN). As the first modern university and the pioneer of modern higher education in China, TJU has been committed to the mission of revitalizing this country through education ever since its foundation. Fighting arduously in keeping up with this mission, TJU proudly upholds the motto "Seeking Truth from Facts", while the faculty follows the guideline of precise learning and strict teaching.

 

 

 

 

During the initial period of SPST, the recruited faculty came primarily from Chinese Nationals who had education background overseas with substantial experience in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, some experts in Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) and Pharmaceutical Administration were attracted to define a comprehensive pharmacy program, although the emphasis of SPST was medicinal chemistry in the starting period. 

 

 

 

 

SPST is currently providing a diverse range of programs at differing levels, including Bachelor of Science (BS) in Pharmacy, Master of Science (MS) in Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Microbial & Biochemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Natural Products & Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Pharmaceutical Administration. SPST also provides the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Applied Chemistry and Public Health & Pharmaceutical Administration that was jointly managed by SPST together with the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology (TJU), and the School of Business Administration (TJU), respectively. In addition, SPST offers the postdoctoral positions for the cutting-edge research in both basic and applied sciences.

 

 

 

 

SPST offers the intellectually rigorous environment, dynamic culture, and unique opportunities of research and study. The mission of SPST is to serve the society by educating pharmaceutical professionals with good knowledge, global vision and competiveness, innovational mind and dedication to address the growing challenges in today’s dynamic and rapidly changing world.

 

 

 

 

SPST Today

 

 

 

 

At present, SPST has 63 faculty members consisting of 33 professors and 24 associate professors.

 

 

 

 

In January 2013, after full justification, President Li of Tianjin University has invited Professor Jay Siegel, with a PhD from Princeton University, to be the second Dean of SPST. With rich teaching, research and administrative experience in tertiary education, Prof. Siegel will lead a major “Excellence” campaign for SPST, aiming toward the development of an internationally recognized institute and a series of reform and renovation will be carried in the foreseeable future.The major focus of the coming years will be to implement the academic plan in tandem with creating an effective management structure; putting in place a thoughtful process of constant curricular reform and renewal; developing a realistic, flexible space plan.

 

 

 

 

Organizational Structure:SPST has established an Executive Council to be responsible for planning the future development of SPST. Besides, SPST has invited 6-8 top experts overseas to form an Advisory Council, to provide guidance and suggestion for the School’s development. This team is responsible for developing the vision and directions for SPST's future.

 

 

 

 

Administrative Policy:Principal task is establishment of a clear recruitment and promotion policy based on regularly scheduled performance review founded on achievements in research, scholastic, educational and service activities. Efforts will be made to promote excellence along a personal contribution vector with different components of strength over these various areas. A second task of equally high priority is to streamline meeting and operations so that maximum time is available for productive scholarly pursuits and a minimum of time is needed for administration.

 

 

 

 

Curriculum:A set of international and domestic peer institutes was selected and a comparison of the peer group and SPST's curricula is in process. Early results suggest greater expansion in statistics, cell biology, economics, toxicology, safety and ethical practice. Because the entire curriculum will be in English and the specific requirements in Pharmacy Administration and Management, the university requirements for specific breadth courses in foreign language and management outside the discipline have been reduced. Internationalization of the curriculum will also include a strong recruitment of students from traditionally English speaking areas like the US, UK, EU, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, Australia/New Zealand.

 

 

 

 

Talents Recruitment:In order to provide competitive faculty forces, with an international broad vision, for the School’s teaching and research, SPST will recruit heavily young internationalized talents in a continuous way for the foreseeable future. Multiple recruitments per year across several disciplines is anticipated.

 

 

 

 

Infrastructure and Services:A set of modern core facilities are being developed to match the needs of the recruited faculty and to match the quality of the modernized lab space/physical plant. These include high-field NMR, Mass Spectrometry, separation science, X-ray crystal analysis, molecular/biological assays, automated methods for synthesis and analysis. In addition, a general process laboratory for chemical production and analysis is planned to provide training for students and postdocs as well as service manufacturing on kilogram scale for industry and academia.

 

 

 

 

Industry Affiliations:Many of the activities of SPST dovetail well into the interests of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. SPST intends to target a spectrum of ways to interact with industry through internship programs, research collaborations, contract services, student placement and joint instruction. SPST is looking to open lines of discussion with key industry partners so that the growth and development of SPST can harmonize in a flexible and dynamic way to benefit industry and academia.

 

 

 

 

China's changing social needs and demographics will offer many opportunities for public-private cooperation and partnership. China already offers many incentives and support instruments for university-industry joint ventures.

 

 

 

 

Looking Ahead

 

 

 

 

The major priority of the coming years will be to implement the academic plan in tandem and create an effective staffing and management structure. SPST is planned to reach ca. 80 internationally active research faculty across the key areas in pharmaceutical and molecular sciences. We will build an internationally accredited English-based curriculum offering BS, MS and PhD degrees with graduates prepared for modern career challenges. A “state-of-the-art” physical plant operating safely with internationally conforming standard operating procedures (SOPs), a world-class core facility to support research and teaching, and a globally recognized institute for research and teaching will be finally realized in SPST.

 

 

 

 

As we move forward, we aim to preserve the dynamic culture and close connections established at SPST, while expanding our ability to build bridges within the classroom, across the campus, and around the world.
