PHAR 829 - Principles of Pharmacology
Cr Hrs: 4 (64-0-0) A primary goal of Principles of Pharmacology is to provide the core fundamental information that guides Pharmacology as a discipline spanning from the key areas of drug interactions with receptors and the body, which inform the use of pharmacological agents in the practice of modern medicine, to the actions of drugs within key organ systems and as toxicological agents. A secondary goal is to provide the students with concepts that are needed for critical evaluation of pharmacological information in search for novel pharmacological targets and pharmacotherapeutic agents in academic or industry settings. The faculty involved in this course will achieve these goals by familiarizing students with the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic use of pharmacological agents, such as theory of ligand-receptor interactions, mechanisms of action for major drug classes, the most common side effects associated with drug use, and relevant bench approaches for studying pharmacological/toxicological problems. Rather than requiring memorization of chemical structures, drug dosing, clinical outcomes, or therapeutic guidelines, the course will help students to develop critical thinking so they can rationalize on benefits and limitations of pharmacological strategies. The course is mandatory for Ph.D. students who choose Pharmacology, Addition Science, and Toxicology (PHAST) track within the Ph.D. program in Biomedical Sciences (IBSP) (track-specific degree). The course is elective for students who choose: 1) Master in Neurotoxicogenomics, 2) any other IBSP track, 3) Master in Sci. in Laboratory Research and Management.
