Course objectives
A follow-up of the Master's degree study programme of physiology and pathophysiology deepens students' knowledge of etiopathogenesis and course of a disease. Theoretical and practical education focused on pathological models designed for testing of new and biologically active substances will constitute an inseparable part of the subject.
Learning outcomes
Advanced knowledge of pathophysiology focused on pathological models designed for testing of new and potentially biologically active substances - in vitro and in vivo.
Syllabus
The aim of the subject is to broaden and deepen students' knowledge in the area of pathophysiology they obtained during their Master's degree programme. Another goal is to provide students theoretical and practical knowledge of in vitro and in vivo experimental models used in pharmacological testing of newly synthesized (isolated) biologically active substances.
