The Program is nationally and internationally acknowledged, receiving the maximum grade from CAPES (initially A and later grade seven) since its foundation in 1970. Also, the program has already graduated 352 masters and 282 Ph.D. by December 2017. A recent survey showed that approximately 70% of graduates are in public teaching or research institutions, 8% in private institutions, 12% in postdoc training, and only 10% have left academic life. These former students currently hold prominent positions in the teaching and research scenario in Pharmacology in Brazil. The laboratories related to the program maintain international collaborations, which result in joint projects and publications, mutual visits by researchers, and internships by our students in foreign laboratories.
