Biopharmaceutical Foundatn III

Catalog description

PHS 301 is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of physiological principles relevant to biopharmaceuticals. Building on Biopharmaceutical Foundation II, this course explores essential physiological systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems. Through lectures, labs, and discussions, students explore physiological mechanisms impacting drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, along with concepts like homeostasis, cellular signaling, and organ function. By course completion, students gain insight into drug action and metabolism, enabling them to analyze pharmacological data, assess drug efficacy and safety, and contribute to pharmaceutical research and development.
