Courses & Handouts
-
- PHRM 401: Principles of Pharmacology I: The Physiological Basis of Therapeutics (MacDonald)
- This course focuses on human physiology of organ systems that are involved in determining the time course of drug action in vivo (pharmacokinetics) as well as on fundamental principles of drug action within the body (pharmacodynamics), including drug-receptor theory, log dose-response relationships, therapeutic index, receptor turnover, and signal transduction mechanisms. [First half of Fall Semester 2006].
- PHRM 402: Principles of Pharmacology II: The Molecular Basis of Therapeutics (Mieyal)
- This course focuses on the chemical and biochemical properties of therapeutic agents, molecular mechanisms of therapeutic action including kinetic and thermodynamic principles of enzyme catalysis and drug-receptor interactions, signal transduction, the genetic basis of disease states, and interindividual variation in response to drugs. [Second half of Fall Semester 2006].
- PHRM 413: Molecular and Genomic Pharmacology (Berdis)
- Seminar on the concepts of drug-receptor interactions and the molecular basis for drug action.
-
- PHRM 440: Science and Society Through Literature (Maguire)
- (crosslisted in BioEthics and History as BETH440/HSTY440)
- This course will examine the interaction of scientific investigation and discovery with the society it occurred in. What is the effect of science on society and, as importantly, what is the effect of society on science?
-
-
- PHRM 525: Topics in Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology (Staff)
- Individual library research under the guidance of a Pharmacology sponsor.
