Pharmacology | Pharmacognosy
The path in drug discovery tends to start, like, in nature. In Pharmacognosy Lab No. 5, our student’s kind of step away from the textbooks and actually jump into the real world of phytochemistry, the study of plant derived chemicals, not just theory. It’s about seeing how stuff comes from leaves, roots, and all that.
Figuring out how a drug actually gets into the body and then connects with biological systems is kind of essential for clinical achievement. In Pharmacology Lab No. 5 , students look at the key ideas of drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics through hands on experiments and also through simulation. This helps them connect the dots, and yeah, understand the whole mechanism, more grounded.
