Professor G - Pharmacology

Lessons in pharmacology and physiology.

As Professor of Pharmacology in a top UK university, I have spent many years teaching pharmacology and physiology on a wide range of courses. I enjoy finding creative ways to explain compex concepts and created this channel to share my knowledge and experience wih students I would not otherwise reach. The material covered is suitable for anyone with an interest in how the body works, how therapeutic drugs work or how these drugs are discovered. Videos cover core material in courses taken by students studying pharmacology, physiology, biomedical sciences, life sciences, pharmacy, medicine, nursing and dentistry.
