In a blending of online and live learning, this course provides an intensive overview of pharmacology, knowledge of which is critical for both drug discovery and development. The principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics are presented, followed by an introduction to the pharmacology of the autonomic nervous system, cardiovascular system and central nervous system. Inflammation and anti-inflammatory drugs are next presented and the course concludes with a discussion of agents used in infectious disease and chemotherapy. The online component is PERI¿s Pharmacology Online Course. PERI strongly recommends that participants complete the online component before attending the live course as concepts covered in the online component will be built upon in the live portion.
