Immunology and Hematology
Immunology focuses on the body's protective immune system and how it fights disease, while Hematology studies the blood, blood-forming tissues, and blood disorders. Students in these fields learn about blood cell development and function, the immune system's innate and adaptive responses to pathogens, and the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of diseases affecting both systems, such as anemia, leukemia, autoimmunity, and immune deficiencies.
General Microbiology
General Microbiology is an introductory university course focusing on microscopic life forms (microbes) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, covering their structure, function, growth, genetics, metabolism, and ecological roles. Students learn fundamental microbiological techniques, the impact of microbes on humans and the environment, how they cause disease, and how to control them through methods like sterilization and antibiotics. This foundational knowledge prepares students for further studies or careers in related fields like biomedical science, biotechnology, and public health.
Pharmacology II
pharmacology is the scientific study of drugs and how they affect living organisms, encompassing both their beneficial and harmful effects. It involves understanding drug mechanisms at cellular and molecular levels, drug discovery and development, and their therapeutic uses. Students learn about the chemical properties, biological effects, and safe application of medicines, alongside skills in laboratory work, data analysis, and research. The field is interdisciplinary, combining biology, chemistry, and physiology to contribute to new treatments for various diseases.
Physical Pharmacy III
Physical pharmacy is the branch of pharmacy that concentrates on the applications of physics and chemistry to the study of pharmacy. In other words, it is the study of the effects that dosage forms have on their environment by addressing issues at the molecular level.
Pharmacognosy I
pharmacognosy is a science that studies natural products like plants, animals, and microbes for medicinal purposes, focusing on their physical, chemical, biochemical, and biological properties to discover and develop new drugs. University programs teach students how to collect, identify, isolate, and analyze compounds from natural sources, applying traditional knowledge with modern analytical techniques to find active ingredients for new therapies.
Pharmaceutics III
Pharmaceutics is the science of transforming a pure drug substance into a safe and effective medicine that can be delivered to patients. University study in Pharmaceutics focuses on drug formulation, such as how to make pills, creams, or injections, and drug delivery, understanding how these forms release and act in the body. This involves understanding the principles of drug action, manufacturing processes, quality control, and regulatory requirements for medicines.
