Experimental pharmacology deals with studying the reactions of living organisms to drugs. It involves pre-clinical and clinical studies as well as various types of research like behavioral, developmental, and functional research. Some techniques used in experimental pharmacology include cell culture, immunostaining, computational genomics, transfection, stem cell culture, DNA sequencing, gene knockdown, polymerase chain reaction, and more. Pharmacological research is important for developing life-saving treatments and better understanding traditional medicines like Ayurveda.
