生物学学士-药理学

药理学不仅仅是对药物作用方式的研究。这是一门利用生物学和化学的基本概念来确定药物如何影响生物体的科学，它为理解细胞，器官系统和生物体的功能提供了独特的视角。与其他基础科学领域不同，药理学是一个特殊的领域，在其中人们可以系统地研究生物事件的机制-从分子水平到整个动物。药理学还使我们能够研究生物系统如何失效，并提供有关疾病病因的信息。药理研究对于治疗疾病的药物的开发，测试和临床使用至关重要。药理学是生物学专业的重点领域，其目的是为学生提供有关药物和有毒物质作用的基本原理的知识。此外，它还提供了在研究环境中应用
Pharmacology is more than the study of the mode of action of drugs. It is a science which uses the basic concepts of biology and chemistry to determine how drugs affect the organism, it gives a unique perspective in understanding how cells, organ systems, and organisms function. Unlike other basic science fields, pharmacology is a special field in which one can systematically investigate the mechanism for a biological event--from the molecular level to the whole animal. Pharmacology also allows us to study how biological systems fail to function, providing information on the etiology of disease. Pharmacologic research is essential for the development, testing and clinical use of drugs to treat disease. The objective of pharmacology as an area of concentration for biology majors is to provide students with knowledge of the basic principles for the actions of drugs and toxic substances. In addition, it provides the opportunity to apply these principles in a research setting. Ultimately, an introduction of pharmacology to undergraduates will encourage interested students to consider graduate study in the field of pharmacology leading to a career in academic research or in the pharmaceutical industry.
