This course provides laboratory practice experience to students, and allows them to involve in the basic drug-discovery pipeline in person. It focuses on the evaluation of mechanisms of drug action, drug-receptor interaction, receptor target distribution, and systematic metabolism, and toxicity. Students learn the practical skills of how to evaluate pharmacological effects of medicine, and get up-to-date information on drugs used in the clinics.

CILO-1: Practise basic techniques for pharmacological research. CILO-2: Use animal models for pharmacological experiments. CILO-3: Analyze experimental data to reach sound conclusions in pharmacology.
