What if one simple graph could reveal the true power of a drug?
In the newest foundational lesson from Terry Kenakin’s Pharmacology Vault, we unlock the visual language of pharmacology: dose-response curves. From assessing drug potency to predicting effects, these curves aren't just for data—they’re your entry point to understanding drug behavior at a deeper level.
In classic Terry style, the lecture walks you through:
What dose-response curves are and why they’re indispensable
How curve-fitting models can deceive—and how to avoid being misled
The statistical tricks that elevate a rough curve into a real insight
You'll leave with practical tools and a new appreciation for the humble curve that powers drug discovery.
