Biography or history

The Leeds College of Pharmacy was a private institution set up in 1898. The teaching of pharmacy at the University of Leeds was established from 1933 in the Department of Physiology, until a new separate Department of Pharmacology was set up in 1947. Pharmacology eventually merged with Physiology and the Centre for Human Biology to form the new School of Biomedical Sciences in 1998.
