Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

• Measure the fundamentals of different dosage forms and drug delivery systems of various medications and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each dosage form and its convenience to the patient.
• Evaluate the basic knowledge of scientific terminology in pharmaceutical biotechnology.
• Examine and apply the knowledge related to the fundamentals of the human body organization, the body’s physiological functions, and how they can be altered with chemical molecules (drugs) derived from natural and synthetic origins.
• Theorize the role of the structure-activity relationship of chemical and organic molecules as drugs and the rationale behind drug design.
• Test knowledge of the different drug classes and groups, their indications, contraindications, and mechanisms of action.
• Assess the technical skills of formulating a given active pharmaceutical ingredient in a various dosage form (i.e. suspensions, emulsions, creams, suppositories, etc.) and compute all the relevant parameters associated with drug dosage.
• Test the ability to observe, record, and discuss different pharmacological effects of medications on laboratory animals and to discuss the results.
• Implement compounding methods to create an efficient and safe drug and apply quality control measures and examinations according to the recent guidelines.
