Course unit partition: EXPERIMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY

Learning objectives

The practice section of the course of EXPERIMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY aims to
enable the student to know and understand the pharmacological investigation
techniques, represented by in vitro functional and molecular studies. At the end of the course, the student should be
able to propose experimental approaches to be adopted in the characterization of
drugs and should correctly and critically interpret the results of virtual experiments
demonstrating independence of judgment, learning ability and communication

Prerequisites

Basics of Pharmacology

Assessment methods and criteria

The assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the course consists of an oral examination. Through questions regarding the theoretical content of the course it will be determined whether the student has achieved the goal of knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of pharmacological experimentation. Through questions regarding virtual experimental situations it will be determined whether the student has the ability of applying the acquired knowledge and to solve new and complex problems through arguments that demonstrate the acquisition of learning skills and formulation of autonomous judgments
