This unit provides students with state-of-the-art insights into how drugs affect physiological and pathological systems. The practicals in the unit complement the lecture topics in PHAR3310 Molecular Pharmacology to give students mechanistic and experimental insights into receptor structure/function analyses and signal transduction, hypothesis testing and data analysis, computer-based approaches to drug structure/activity modelling, drug metabolism and the production of toxic metabolites and genetic differences affecting drug metabolism. In addition, students participate in a seminar series on current pharmacological and toxicological controversies. The seminars are designed to emphasise... -- Course Website
