SummaryAn understanding of the molecular pharmacology of receptors in relation to the action of drugs underpins many aspects of the courses within the Honours Pharmacology Programmes. A series of lectures will be given to provide an overview of topics including: action of drugs at receptors, structure-function relationships for the different classes of receptor, the signalling processes following receptor activation and receptor cloning and expression. Some rudimentary laboratory aspects will be included in the course to maintain basic laboratory skills. There will be opportunity to meet with Programme tutors in small groups. The purpose of the tutorials is to provide student access to a member of staff and to cover general aspects related to Pharmacology. Students will be encouraged to submit essays to tutors in order to practice and obtain feedback on their writing skills.
