The aim of the course:
The aim of mechanisms of action of antiviral drugs for graduate program students is to introduce antiviral drugs and their action mechanisms that will be beneficial throughout their educational and professional life. During this course the basic virology and mechanisms of action of antiviral drugs will be taught to students.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : The general structure of viruses are learned.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
PO - 2 : Replication strategies of viruses are learned. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
PO - 3 : Targets of antivral drugs and mechanism of their action are learned. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
PO - 4 : Antiviral resistance mechanisms are learned. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
PO - 5 : Infection control is learned.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
