The MRes Neuropharmacology course is a specialised research-oriented Master's tailored for those committed to neuropharmacological research, who seek to explore the effects of drugs on the nervous system and contribute to the development of novel therapies for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Overview
Neuropharmacology is a specialised branch of pharmacology that focuses on the study of how drugs and substances interact with the nervous system to influence its function and behaviour.
It plays a vital role in advancing our understanding of the nervous system, identifying new therapeutic targets, and developing drugs that can improve the lives of individuals affected by neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. It is an interdisciplinary field that draws from pharmacology, neuroscience, chemistry, psychology, and medicine, in order to address complex questions related to drug interactions with the nervous system.
