Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: We know that the pharmaceutical profession is now undeniably inseparable from the technologies of the future, which will provide the faculty and students who have the potential for high human intelligence of ISU and who have taken the research to their primary task.

Pharmacy is an effective profession in all areas of the pharmaceutical industry. Since the journey of drug molecules in body components will vary according to people's genetic profiles, only pharmacist candidates will know that different genetic profiles with the same disease interact with mutated proteins, allowing the molecular structure to become a person's property. Therefore, in the stages of developing their own abilities, pharmacy students will be trained to know the technological developments very well as multidisciplinary and to create benefit models and organize the system for the health of the public.

Researchers at the FACULTY of Pharmacy at ISU will understand, for example, that they have the capacity to use "Artificial Intelligence" tools to develop new cancer drugs, examine toxicological profiles and address the health challenges of not only Turkey but also countries around the world in health issues concerning drug molecules. Because artificial intelligence involves a much more advanced concentration and shaping the future than a way of thinking. People who have the use of this technology in the field of pharmacy will be ready to answer major problems in the understanding of changing the health of societies and improving them with drug molecules. Therefore, the aim of the course is to ensure that the pharmacy profession does not lag behind technological developments.
Course Content: Artificial intelligence (AI) has nowadays become an important application area of the high-tech expansion of the future today. When it comes to field work rate in health, we understand that the most prominent part of this is the striking series of approaches that largely cover drug molecules and affect all pharmaceutical sectors in open-ended development. This course includes the definition of artificial intelligence, its historical process, in which areas it is used today, how it can be integrated into drug discovery and development processes, artificial intelligence-based applications in the pharmaceutical industry, artificial intelligence applications in bioinformatics and personalized medicine.
