BSc Pharmacology

Comments about BSc Pharmacology - At the institution - London - Greater London

• Objectives
  Pharmacology is the study of the interactions of chemical compounds with living systems, and focuses on drugs and their effects on molecular, biochemical and physiological processes, particularly in humans. This course shows you how molecules act on receptors to produce particular effects, informs you of how to analyse pharmacological data, and equips you for pharmacological research, drug development and screening, and biomedical laboratory analysis.
