The purpose of this subject is to provide a complete background in the area of experimental pharmacodynamics. The students will be theoretically and practically trained in the basic principles of pharmacodynamic experimentation including data elaboration and statistical analysis.
The subject is taught fully and only in English.
Conditions:
• This subject is an elective subject in the summer term of 4th year of the study. Is it possible to register the subject only after passing Pharmacology II and Pharmaceutical Chemistry II.
• Exam is oral in English, credits will be awarded based on at least 4 from 7 attendances on practical classes (all students must attend practical class No.1, and choose 3 additional practical classes)
• The student will obtain 3 credits after successfully completing the subject. Content: The subject is composed from 7 practical classes (4 hours each, 28 in total) and 7 lectures (2 hours each, 14 hours in total) which will precede and match with the topics of the practical classes. Maximal capacity: 16 students (4 groups of 4 students) Last update: Carazo Fernández Alejandro, PharmDr., Ph.D. (14.02.2024)

The student will select at least 3 from a total of 6 practical classes (No.2-7) and must previously attend the corresponding lecture. Attendance of the 1st practical class and presentation is compulsory. After successful compliance with the requirements, the students will take a brief oral exam that will assert the knowledge on the topics discussed in the subject, particularly on the laboratory methods employed Last update: Carazo Fernández Alejandro, PharmDr., Ph.D. (14.02.2024)
