Description and Main Activities

The Experimental Pharmacology Educational Laboratory Laboratory is designed to provide advanced practical training for students enrolled in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology and Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies courses. This lab helps students apply their theoretical knowledge to practical application in pharmacology.
In this modern lab, students gain hands-on experience in cell and molecular biology techniques in pharmacology, conduct pharmacological tests on cell cultures and animal tissues, and perform basic toxicology studies.
Under the guidance of experienced professors and a staff of expert technicians, students learn to performe experiments, collect and analyze data, and draw conclusions from their findings.
This practical experience is valuable for students’ future careers in pharmaceutical research, drug development, and biotechnology.
