Overview
About the course
This Preclinical Science course at King's College London covers three major areas: the pharmacology part of the module will include basic principles, plus the use of animal models, including transgenic models.
Students will see how the pharmacology studies inform the choice of drug candidates and will learn of the importance of preclinical safety testing, including what tests are needed to start and progress a clinical development programme. Students will learn about the regulatory requirements for toxicology studies and how to look for critical information within a toxicology report.
The module will also introduce aspects of pharmaceutical sciences, including the choice of formulation, stability testing, scale-up and how these issues can impact on a clinical trial programme.
