General expected learning outcomes The aim of the teaching Analisi dei farmaci e dei metaboliti nei fluidi biologici is to ensure knowledge of the main aspects of the methods that can be used for the qualitative-quantitative analysis and pharmacological characterization of drugs and their metabolites, both in biological fluids and in “in vitro” model systems, from sample selection operations to processing, interpretation and transmission of results. Specific expected learning outcomes In this teaching, the students will have to acquire the following detailed skills according to Dublin descriptors: 1. Knowledge and understanding Students acquire ability to discriminate the specific purposes of the different types of analytical investigations in biological fluids. Knowledge of the characteristics, differences and specificity of the various biological matrices. Definition of criteria for the correct selection, design, validation and application of complete analytical procedures for the identification and quantitative determination of drugs and their metabolites in biological matrices. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding The student will acquire the ability to correctly frame an analytical problem, with particular regard to the research of drugs and metabolites in biological fluids of different kind and nature, and the ability to find information from the study of the reference scientific bibliography. 3. Making judgements One of the fundamental objectives of teaching is constituted by critical learning. It is pursued systematically through the continuous interaction between teacher and students. 4. Communication skills Students acquire the ability to communicate knowledge, problems and solutions related to the analysis of drugs and metabolites in biological fluids. They are also able to expose assessments and motivations in a clear and understandable way to specialists and non-specialists. 5. Learning skills The student will be able to independently learn all the analytical techniques thanks to the availability of texts and handouts and also thanks to the consultation of scientific articles related to the topics of the course, which are published in indexed international scientific journals.
