ABSTRACT
Molecular Pharmacognosy is a new interdisciplinary subject formed by the organic integration of molecular biology and pharmacognosy. It is highly practical and innovative. In the course of teaching,both experimental teaching and theoretical teaching are of great significance. " Molecular Identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine" and the traditional teaching mode of confirmatory experiment are the preferred choices for the establishment of Molecular Pharmacognosy experimental courses in universities and colleges. Molecular Pharmacy is a forward-looking discipline with many emerging methods and technologies. Basic experimental teaching is not enough for students to learn this subject better,so it is especially important to introduce the latest scientific research results in experimental teaching. Experimental teaching based on the transformation of the latest scientific research results not only enables students to master basic experimental skills,but also broadens the breadth of students' knowledge,cultivates students' scientific research ideas,stimulates students' innovation spirit. Some suggestions and prospects have been put forward for the compilation of experimental teaching materials,the construction of experimental platform,the cultivation of teachers and academic exchanges. It is hoped that the contents of experimental textbooks will be developed from confirmatory experiments to comprehensive experiments,and the experimental platform for rational,standardized and efficient use will be built. Meanwhile,experimental courses involving multiple fields can be completed by multi-disciplinary teachers,and it is encouraged to actively carry out and participate in flexible,diverse,lively and interesting teaching practices. All the suggestions are intended to promote the development of Molecular Pharmacognosy.
