BIOL 409 - Pharmacology Principles and Applications Class Hours: 3 Lab/Discussion: 0 Credits: 3
Prerequisite: BIOL 106 or BIOL 202 or BIOL 240 Description: Explores the principles of the interactions of chemicals with biological systems in the context of human diseases of varied etiology (e.g. genetic, environmental) and clinical presentation. Introduces the general principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, integrating analysis at multiple biological levels (molecular, cellular, systems, organismal) to develop a broad view of the interaction of drugs with biological systems. Develops skills in pharmacological analysis through examination of actual and simulated sets of data. Examines applications of principles to specific fields of pharmacology (e.g., neuro-, cardiovascular, immuno-, endocrine, cancer) and explores the discovery and development of new medications using examples from recent scientific and clinical trial literature.
