About this subject
Pharmacological and Toxicological Screening Methods – II is a core paper in the M Pharm Pharmacology specialization. It builds on the screening foundations of Paper I and shifts focus toward regulatory toxicology, safety pharmacology and IND-enabling studies — the science behind every preclinical package submitted to the FDA, EMA or CDSCO. The syllabus walks through OECD, ICH and Schedule Y guidelines, GLP principles, acute and chronic toxicity designs, reproductive and developmental toxicology, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, the hERG assay, toxicokinetics, and the modern push toward animal-free alternatives.
Each topic above links to a focused practice set of 30 MCQs with detailed answers, designed to mirror the depth and phrasing of university and competitive exams.
