Pharmacology MBiol (Hons)
Course Overview - Pharmacology MBiol (Hons)
Pharmacology is an exciting branch of experimental science concerned with drugs and how they work in the fight against disease. Taught by leading academics who are active researchers in their fields in a rich and vibrant environment, you will study the physiological and biochemical processes underlying diseases such as AIDS, malaria, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular and neurological disease, and learn how drug molecules can be designed to relieve symptoms and combat the disease process. This course provides an advanced programme using different forms of teaching, including lecture-bas...
Pharmacology is an exciting branch of experimental science concerned with drugs and how they work in the fight against disease.
