Prerequisites
In-depth knowledge in biochemistry and physiology.
Main themes
The course focuses on the cellular and molecular principles of pharmacology, in particular on the mechanisms involved in the interactions of pharmacological agents with cells, in general and in applications to specific tissues or organs, such as cardiovascular or nervous systems or physio-pathological situations such as inflammation.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
At the end of this course, the student will be able to understand and mobilise the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the molecular interactions between pharmacological agents and the cell as a target for entry and metabolic interference. The sudent will be able to analyze the scientific literature on a specific pharmacological situation, to write a report, to present and discuss it orally. |
