- Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of biology, biochemistry and genetics corresponding to the 1st year of the faculty´s programme.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 50 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 8/50, only registered: 0/50 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Pharmacy (programme FaF, M-FARM)
- Course objectives
- Theoretical principles and practical applications of genetics in pharmacy are taught. Special attention is paid to genomics and its importance for new drug development, to genetics of disease, geentics of host and pathogen interactions, genetic variability in reactions to pharmacotherapy. Genetics of laboratory animals represents a special topic of the course.
- Learning outcomes
- Students will be able to use the acquired knowledge in related curricular subjects and eventually, they will be able to use it in understanding principles of drug action and in interpreting them for themselves and for their clients.
