Pharmacology MinorCollege of Biological Sciences - Adm
College of Biological Sciences
Pharmacology studies how drugs affect biological systems. It is the foundation of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, and other health care professions. Pharmacology employs scientific principles and techniques of its own, as well as from disciplines such as physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, genetics, structural biology, and pathology. The objectives of pharmacology include identifying new targets for therapeutic intervention, developing new therapeutics, and understanding environmental/toxicological implications.
