AMS 590 – Introduction to Toxicology I
| |
This course introduces students to the principles and practice of toxicology. The major focus of the course is on basic principles, mechanisms and common methods underpinning the science of toxicology. Selected target organ systems (e.g. respiratory, nervous and immune systems) are studied with respect to understanding how representative chemicals damage and impair their ability to function. Students will develop a fundamental understanding of how chemicals may exert toxic effects and gain insight into the importance of organ specific effects.
Prerequisites: molecular biology, biochemistry, or permission of the instructor
