Pharmacy programme semester 8, elective course 

The course is given by the Unit for PKDM - Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism, Dept. of Pharmacology, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology

Course Overview

The course covers topics in preclinical drug discovery/development, with focus of pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic property optimization.

Teaching consists of lectures (primarily scheduled during the first two weeks), interactive seminars and literature discussions, computer excercises (e.g., physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling). During the course, you will also work on group assignments: practicals covering the analysis of in vitro ADME experiments, and a larger assignment around optimization of the pharmacokinetic profile of a new drug. The second half of the course will focus on these assignments, with checkpoint seminars approximately halfway through the course.
