About the course
Aim
In this course the student will acquire an advanced knowledge of the mechanisms of drug action on a molecular and cellular level to understand the medical effects of drugs. The course comprises in-depth knowledge in pharmacodynamics (how drugs act) and includes recent research within selected fields of pharmacology. The course is elective semester one or three in the Master’s Programme in Experimental and Medical Biosciences. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the course the students will be able to: Knowledge and understanding -Understand the mechanisms of action of different drugs on a molecular, cellular and physiological level -Analyze drug effects on a molecular to medical level -Analyze advanced models of drug/receptor protein interactions Competence and skills -Apply an advanced knowledge in pharmacological sciences in order to design and perform laboratory studies and to critically interpret obtained results Judgement and approach -Evaluate and analyze complex pharmacological questions presented in the scientific literature
Content
-Current concept of drug/receptor protein interaction -Mechanisms and medical effects of drugs that interact with G-protein coupled receptors -Drugs that interact with transmembrane proteins -Drugs that interfere with intracellular target proteins -Drugs that affect the neuron and neurotransmission -Pharmacokinetics -Recent research within some field of pharmacology; pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
