Infos

Practical Pharmacology for the Pharmaceutical Sciences is a lab survival guide for those studying Pharmacology, providing hands-on advice on developing pharmacology laboratory and data handling skills. Suitable for both undergraduates and postgraduates, it focuses on laboratory techniques rather than computer-simulated data. It also guides the reader through the process of communicating experimental results in a variety of formats, including posters, oral presentations and project reports.

Split into three main areas, the following topics are covered in detail:

Preparation for Experimental Pharmacology



Legal aspects
Fundamentals of Pharmacology
Definitions, calculations and statistics

Experiments in Pharmacology



Microtitre-based techniques using isolated cells
In vitro techniques using isolated tissues and organs
Biochemical techniques using cell-free systems

Communicating experimental results



Data presentation
How to write scientific reports
Pharmacological literature

Supported with numerous questions throughout the text, as well as step by step instructions for practical experiments, this book presents an approach to learning pharmacology through an appreciation of authentic experimental data.
