Syllabus
Course Objectives
1) provide the theoretical and methodological competences related to the development of biotechnological products; 2)
provide an overview of medical devices; 3) provide an overview of the medicinal products for veterinary use considering
the need to develop species-specific dosage forms, in the light of anatomical and physiological differences that may
affect the bioavailability of drugs in different species.
Through the course, the student will acquire theoretical and practical skills that will allow him to face the exercise of the profession with complete mastery of the subject.

Course Prerequisites
Pass the exam of Pharmaceutical Technology and Legislation (Prerequisites of the Teaching Regulations) and Pharmaceutical Technology and Medicines Regulation. Basic knowledge of pharmaceutical technology, especially for solid and liquid pharmaceutical forms. Knowledge of the basic concepts of biopharmaceuticals is required, the routes of administration, the factors that influence the absorption of drugs and the influence of the pharmaceutical form on the biological effect.
Teaching Methods
Lectures and seminars led by external experts whose attendance is strongly recommended. The teaching materials presented during the seminars, as well as those presented during the teacher’s lectures, will be assessed during the exam For students with specific needs, who cannot attend in person the teaching activities and who have applied for Inclusive Teaching Methods, the professor will provide teaching material suitable for independent study. If requested, self-learning can be supported by supplementary teaching activities and dedicated meetings, also online, with flexible hours depending on the needs.
