Therapeutic Sciences is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the physical and chemical nature of living organisms and the mechanisms of disease and drug actions on these organisms. These disciplines are interactive and very quantitative, applying math, physics, chemistry, and computer science to the study of biological systems. They cover numerous fields, including neuroscience, cardiovascular and other organ systems, endocrinology, biophysics, protein structure and drug design, signal transduction, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, drug and gene therapy and drug abuse. Research in therapeutic sciences is "translational," linking basic science with medicine and the treatment of disease.
