Experimental pharmacology, in the broadest sense, deals with the reactions of living organisms to the drug during experimentation.

Pre clinical studiesClinical studies

Pure research-Behavioural, Developmental, Functional

Applied research-Specific activity

Xenotransplantation-Transplant of tissue or organ from one species to other

Toxicological studies-Safety studies

Cell culture –Growth of cells under controlled conditions

Immunostaining

–

Specialised histological methods to

localise

proteins in cells or tissue slices. Antibody directed

against the protein –

Antigen-antibody reaction-Veiwed

under flouroscence

microscopy

Computational genomics –

Computational analysis to

decipher biology from genome sequences and related data

Transfection

–

deliberately introducing nucleic acids into

cells

Stem cell culture –

Umbilical cord stem cell culture

DNA Sequencing and Genomics –To determine the order of nucleotide bases in a strand of DNA

Gene knockdown –

Mutation of a selected gene.

Polymerase Chain reaction(PCR) –

to amplify a

single or a strand of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating a no. of copies of of

that

particular DNA sequence

Research is an area which sees continuous growth and which sees no stagnation. Pharmacological research is one area wherein the outcome is life saving and very essential to mankind.

Ayurvedic drugs are known to act since time immemorial but their modes of actions are to be understood.

These updates of research help in better understanding of our drugs and their actions and can be incorporated into Ayurvedic Drug Research.

Pinpoint identification of the problem and pinpoint treatment is possible through Ayurveda and these methods definitely help in providing better understanding in this regard.
