Aims
This course focuses on the structure of biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins of animals, and the transmission of genetic information and cellular information. The aim is mainly to teach students the basic theories and basic knowledge of molecular biology techniques in animal medicine, so that students can master the basic theories and basic knowledge between molecular biology and animal medicine, and to master the molecular biology technology correctly. This course is a good foundation for the follow-up professional courses and the use of molecular biology methods after graduation.
The course then focuses on the basic theories of animal pharmacology, and the correct use of drugs.
Learning Outcomes

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Through the study of this course, the students will master the basic requirements of the molecular biology laboratory, and improve their biological safety awareness. They will master the basic operations of molecular biology experiments, and correctly use the experimental techniques of nucleic acid research, and understand the relevant experimental techniques of protein research. This course will help the students correctly use molecular biology techniques in subsequent scientific research. Students will also study pharmacology and the interaction between drugs and animals. The students will master the concepts of drugs, poisons, preparations and dosage forms, understand the concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, master and understand the types of drugs in the pharmacology and the characteristics of the drugs, and the rational use of antimicrobials and anti-parasitic and prevent the emergence of drug resistance.
Additional Information:The students will build on molecular biology and biochemical foundations from level 3 to apply molecular biology techniques to detect diseases and use these methods accurately in subsequent research through the study in animal medicine. This course will help students learn to use drugs correctly, especially drugs together, pay attention to the incompatibility between drugs, and prevent the drug resistance.
