PhD Experimental and clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology

General information

Official Code: PA09
Acronym: PDFTEC
Description: The Doctoral Programme in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, resulting from the collaboration among three U.Porto faculties (FMUP, FFUP, ICBAS), aims to offer advanced training in different fields, promoting research beyond the existing scientific knowledge, according to the learning objectives for doctoral programmes recommended in the document "Standards for PhD Education in Biomedicine and Health Sciences in Europe" by the ORPHEUS/AMSE/WFME Task Force. This course is mainly intended for holders of a bachelor's or master's degree in Medicine and other fields related with Biological and Health Sciences.

Certificates

  • Experimental and clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology (240 ECTS credits)
  • Curso de Doutoramento em Farmacologia e Toxicologia Experimentais e Clínicas (30 ECTS credits)

Courses Units

Drug discovery and development

FTEC_14_09 - ECTS

Ethics, experimental design and scientific writing

FTEC_14_01 - ECTS This unit aims at acquiring three broad-spectrum abilities, necessary for scientific activity in any research area within Biological/Health Sciences. At the end of the course it is expected that the student: 1) knows and applies the fundamental ethical guidelines for the conduct of human and laboratory animal research, for the use of medicines and for the environmental protection; 2) understands and applies the concepts and fundamentals of experimental design and data analysis, and is able to use the proper software tools; 3) knows and applies the rules of scientific writing

Methods of Instrumental analysis in pharmacology and toxicology

FTEC_14_06 - ECTS

Methods in clinical pharmacology

FTEC_14_08 - ECTS

In vitro methods in pharmacology

FTEC_14_03 - ECTS

In vivo methods in pharmacology

FTEC_14_04 - ECTS

Methods in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology

FTEC_14_02 - ECTS To learn the fundamentals of the different methods used in Cell and Molecular Biology applied to drug discovery.


The course in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology will employ a multidisciplinary approach / team to train students in the rigors of experimental pharmacological sciences and to prepare them for independent research careers. The course is designed to convey the fundamentals of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics to solve a variety of experimental problems and in the design of research strategies in the context of drug discovery. The education is reinforced at the bench in cutting-edge research laboratories of the consortium grouped into four main topics: methods of nucleic acid analysis, methods of protein analysis, transformation of cellular organisms, and cellular screening and cell cultures.

Imaging in Pharmacology

FTEC_14_05 - ECTS To learn the fundamentals of the different imaging techniques in Biology, biological signal processing and the digital analysis of images obtained for studying the relationship between molecular interactions, function and structure of cells and tissues.

Methods in toxicology

FTEC_14_07 - ECTS
