General description and relevant information Should there be a health emergency that requires the general public to be confined or which involves restricted mobility during the academic year, we shall attempt to adapt teaching and assessment. Should this situation arise, information about any changes will be given on the Moodle space for every subject. The course aims to provide biotechnology students with basic language and knowledge in pharmacology and immunology to understand how certain types of biotechnological products are transformed into medicines, with the vaccine being an emblematic example of the process. The language learned should allow to communicate with professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, that is to say, scientific researchers, pharmacists, clinical pharmacologists or specialists in pharmaceutical marketing. The knowledge and detailed analysis of the biotechnological products present in the market will provide the basis to evaluate the current situation and perspectives of biotechnological products as human therapeutic agents. In conclusion, the objectives of this subject is that the student reaches basic notions that prepare him for a possible incorporation to the pharmaceutical industry. As a result of the extinction of the study plan that is being studied, this subject is done through tutoring (except in the studies of the ETSE). For more information, you should consult the teacher's personalized attention schedule.
