| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
(Aim) Introductory lectures for pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences in the master's program. The lectures outline research in fields related to pharmacy biomedical science within the department of pharmaceutical research, and provide students with an understanding of drug discovery research, drug development, and the state of medical practice. (Summary) The course outlines the processes that control the function of pharmaceuticals. Specifically, it outlines the mechanisms of pharmacological effect expression, the in vivo kinetics of drugs and pathophysiology, the factors that control these, the state of genomic drug discovery and other new drug development, and issues in medical treatment. It equips student with the knowledge needed for basic research with the objective of delivering drug discovery, drug development, and suitable drug therapies. |
