Designed to provide students with a broad and deep understanding of the biological aspects of toxicology at both cellular and molecular levels, and the skills to approach emerging challenges in the field. Designed for graduate students but available to qualified upper-division science majors. K. Ottemann, Z. Zhu 205. Introductory Graduate Seminar. F Weekly seminars by academic and research faculty on their areas of special interest.
Students write weekly abstracts on articles covered by the seminars.
Course designed for graduate students but available to qualified upper division science majors. Course may be repeated. Enrollment restricted to graduate students. Presents an in-depth treatment of the biochemical and physiological mechanisms underlying toxicity and detoxication. Topics include chemical-biological interactions, receptor dynamics, multicompartment kinetics, chemical activation and detoxication, induction and inhibition, and the toxic biochemical and physiological mechanisms of both natural and anthropogenic toxins.
