Course content
The academic discipline "Pharmacological Biotechnology" is dedicated to the study of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and mechanisms of action of drugs of biotechnological origin (hormones, vitamins, enzymes, vaccines, immunomodulators, probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, etc.) used for the prevention and treatment of various pathological conditions. "Pharmacological Biotechnology" also studies dosage forms, indications, side effects and contraindications to the use of drugs of biotechnological origin.
