Course content
"Contemporary Issues in Biomedicine and Pharmacology" is an interdisciplinary field of science that emerged at the intersection of biological and medical sciences. The course encompasses accumulated knowledge and research relevant, to varying degrees, to medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and fundamental biological sciences, including chemistry, biochemistry, biology, histology, genetics, embryology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, zoology, botany, and microbiology. The discipline focuses on theoretical foundations and research in medicine rather than clinical medical practice. Advances in biomedicine facilitate the development of new medicinal products, induced pluripotent stem cells for cell-based therapies, and a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, thereby providing a foundation for various fields of medicine, diagnostics, and treatment. The discipline promotes the development of pharmacology, while advances in pharmacology, in turn, contribute to addressing a range of contemporary challenges in biomedicine.
