This course introduces the students to the fundamentals of clinical pharmacology concepts such as drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion and the important role they play in clinical research, clinical safety, and benefit-risk profile evaluation. In particular, students will gain a strong understanding of the main PK and PD parameters, drugs ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), pharmacodynamics, and clinical safety. The role of clinical pharmacology in the drug development process for different populations is discussed in detail.
