Grover, Anita; Lam, Tai Ning; Hunt, C. Anthony – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
We present a simulation tool to aid the study of basic pharmacology principles. By taking advantage of the properties of agent-based modeling, the tool facilitates taking a mechanistic approach to learning basic concepts, in contrast to the traditional empirical methods. Pharmacodynamics is a particular aspect of pharmacology that can benefit from…
