fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
Expanding the knowledge of the student focusing on in vitro and in vivo mechanisms of drug release and their statistical evaluation, obtained mainly from world databases containing knowledge from scientific publications especially of foreign research experts and institutions and increasing the ability of the student to process this knowledge into research texts focusing on the content of the study program.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student will:
- have theoretical knowledge in the field of dissolution testing - be able to interpret the dissolution profile of a drug from a dosage form - theoretically and practically master the use of mathematical models to infer the kinetics and mechanism of drug release - estimate the effect of polymer blends on drug release - be able to make sophisticated comparisons of dissociation profiles
