Applied Pathophysiology and Pharmacology in Acute and Long Term Conditions Module

This module aims to develop student knowledge and understanding of pathophysiology and pharmacology of acute and long term conditions. This will enable students to gain a greater understanding of underlying disease processes and their pharmacological treatment.

We will examine key pathological processes (cell injury, cell death, cell adaptations, acute and chronic inflammation, tissue repair, hypersensitivity reactions, and neoplasia) and how these underlie specific conditions. current pharmacological interventions will be examined including the use of monoclonal antibodies.
