理学学士（荣誉）免疫学和药理学

现在，用于治疗多种疾病或用作治疗多种疾病的靶标的免疫系统分子数量迅速增加。已经开发了免疫学和药理学联合学位，以满足对药物开发中这两个主题的理解的需要。免疫学是人体如何防御病原微生物和癌症的研究，同时也是使自身免疫性疾病，哮喘和变态反应衰弱的基础。药理学与药物的发现，表征和毒理学有关，这些药物既可以用作药物，也可以用作实验工具，以增进我们对人体健康和疾病的了解。它还解决了药物毒性以及药物吸收，代谢和排泄的过程。我们研究如何将免疫系统用于包括疫苗在内的新疗法。该学位为您提供了在工业，商业或研究环境中工作一年的
There is a rapidly increasing number of immune system molecules now used to treat, or used as targets in the treatment of, a wide range of disease. The joint Immunology and Pharmacology degree has been developed to meet the need for understanding of both these subjects in drug development.There is a rapidly increasing number of immune system molecules now used to treat, or used as targets in the treatment of, a wide range of disease.Immunology is the study of how the body defends itself against pathogenic microorganisms and cancer but is also fundamental to debilitating autoimmune diseases, asthma and allergies. Pharmacology is concerned with the discovery, characterisation and toxicology of drugs that are used either as medicines or as experimental tools for advancing our understanding of the body in health and disease. It also addresses drug toxicity and the processes by which drugs are absorbed, metabolised and excreted. We look at how the immune system can be exploited for novel therapies including vaccines.Students will gain a broad, in depth, understanding of both subjects at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Our research-led approach, which covers the latest advances provides graduates with the skills and knowledge for a wide range of careers in immunology and pharmacology and more generally in medical science.
