Methods of Evaluation and Drug Action and Toxicity: II

Catalog description

Part 2 of a lecture-laboratory course that employs pharmacological, physiological and analytical methods used in determining the binding site, mechanism of action, and toxicity of drugs and chemicals. The sequence of laboratory experiments involves an interdisciplinary approach incorporating the various areas of pharmacology and toxicology. This includes basic techniques used to monitor drug action and toxicity, and evaluating drug action on selected disease states. In vitro biochemical methods are used to determine pharmacological and toxicological actions. Offered spring term, odd years.
