Program Summary
Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology is a course that explores the scientific methods and principles used to evaluate the effects of drugs and toxic substances on living organisms. It involves the study of drug actions, mechanisms, and interactions, as well as the detection and assessment of harmful effects caused by chemicals. The course typically includes both theoretical and practical components, emphasizing experimental techniques, data analysis, and the interpretation of pharmacological and toxicological responses. Students learn to design and conduct experiments using laboratory animals or models, analyze dose-response relationships, and understand safety and efficacy testing. The knowledge gained in this course is essential for careers in drug development, regulatory science, and biomedical research.
