OVERVIEW

A new integrated course in general pharmacology, toxicology, and molecular biology has been launched.

This course will provide students with an opportunity to explore the cutting-edge topics that are transforming biomedical research, with a particular focus on the characteristics of biotechnological drugs.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course will equip students with the fundamental knowledge of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology, with a particular focus on biotechnological drugs.

Additionally, the course aims to provide the basic elements for understanding the structural organization of genes and the molecular mechanisms that regulate transcription and translation, with particular attention to gene expression control. Topics related to recombinant DNA technology will also be addressed, focusing on the applicative aspects of genetic engineering and biotechnology.
