JNP1014Y Interdisciplinary Toxicology Coordinator: Dr. J. Peter McPherson (Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology) A survey course examining several contemporary topics in toxicology with emphasis on human/mammalian toxicology. Topics covered in the course may include: adverse drug reactions, acute poisonings, natural toxins, maternal-fetal toxicology, forensic toxicology, environmental chemistry, pesticides, dioxins, endocrine disruptors, regulatory toxicology, occupational toxicology, food toxicology, herbal products, alcohol, smoking, and drugs of abuse. Students are evaluated by their performance on written tests and assignments.
JNP1016H Graduate Seminar in Toxicology - This course is offered every other year. Coordinator: Dr. Cindy Woodland (Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology) This course is a seminar-based course in which students critique scientific papers in the area of toxicology. Students are evaluated by oral and written critiques of the scientific literature and by their participation in class discussions.
JNP1017H Current Topics in Molecular and Biochemical Basis of Toxicology - This course is offered every other year. Coordinator: Dr. Jeff Henderson (Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy) This course will emphasize the biochemical principles and mechanisms underlying the toxicity of drugs and foreign agents. In particular the current hypotheses that explain the events at the molecular level which determine and affect toxicity are examined and critically evaluated. This course is suitable for graduate students of pharmacy, toxicology, pharmacology, biochemistry, environmental science, pathology, neuroscience and medical biophysics. A weekly journal club will also be held after the lectures.
JNP1018H Molecular and Biochemical Basis of Toxicology I- This course is offered every other year. Coordinator: Dr. Jeff Henderson (Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy) This course will emphasize the molecular biology principles and mechanisms underlying the toxicity of drugs and foreign agents. A journal club format is used to examine and critically evaluate the current hypotheses that explain the events at the molecular level which determine and affect toxicity. This course is suitable for graduate students of pharmacy, toxicology, pharmacology, biochemistry, environmental science, pathology, neuroscience and medical biophysics. A weekly journal club will also be held after the lectures.
CHL5912H Occupational and Environmental Toxicology Coordinator: Dr. Jeremy Scott (Dalla Lana School of Public Health) This course is an introductory course designed for those who wish to learn basic toxicological principles and knowledge to apply to the protection of the health of individuals and groups exposed to chemicals in the workplace.
