FPS DEPARTMENT

Department of Pharmacology

Overview

Pharmacology serves as a bridge between basic science and clinical medicine. Pharmacology studies pharmacodynamics (how drugs directly or indirectly act on the body and influence body functions) and pharmacokinetics (how body processes drugs – drug metabolism).

Research direction

pharmacodynamics investigates effects and mechanisms of drugs, clinical applications of drugs, etc.; pharmacokinetics investigates drug clearance and elimination from the body and drug metabolism in the body.
