Courses
| TOX*6000 Advanced Principles of Toxicology S [0.50] |
|---|
| An intensive course in the principles of modern aspects of toxicology, taught in a lecture/case study format. |
| TOX*6200 Advanced Topics in Toxicology W [0.50] |
|---|
| Advanced topics in toxicology will include oral presentations by students, faculty members, and guest lecturers. The emphasis will be on advanced concepts and techniques in toxicology research with particular relevance to mechanistic, molecular and interpretive toxicology. |
| TOX*6530 Ecotoxicological Risk Characterization W [0.50] |
|---|
| A biologically based advanced course that will give students working knowledge of current procedures and techniques for ecotoxicological risk characterization. The course material will cover the topics: problem definition, dose response characterization, exposure characterization, and risk assessment and risk-management decision making. (Credit may be obtained for only one of TOX*6530, ENVB*6530 and TOX*4550.) Department of Environmental Biology |
| ENVB*6530 Ecotoxicological Risk Characterization W [0.50] | |
|---|---|
| A biologically based advanced course that will give students working knowledge of current procedures and techniques for ecotoxicological risk characterization. The course material will cover the topics: problem definition, concentration-response characterization, exposure characterization, and risk assessment and risk-management decision making. Department of Environmental Biology. | |
| Restriction(s): | Credit may be obtained for only one of TOX*6530, ENVB*6530, ENVB*4550 and TOX*4550 |
| TOX*6590 Biochemical Toxicology F [0.50] |
|---|
| The molecular mechanisms of action of carcinogens and other toxic compounds. Enzymes of biotransformation, including a detailed study of cytochrome P-450. Interactions of reactive species with DNA and other macromolecules. (Credit may be obtained for only one of TOX*4590 and 9406590.) Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry |
| CHEM*7310 Selected Topics in Biochemistry U [0.50] |
|---|
| Discussion of specialized topics related to the research interests of members of the centre: for example, recent offerings have included peptide and protein chemistry, biochemical toxicology, medical aspects of biochemistry, glycolipids and glycoproteins, redox enzymes, biological applications of magnetic resonance, etc. Department of Chemistry |
| CHEM*7600 Selected Topics in Organic Chemistry U [0.50] |
|---|
| Two or three topics from a range including: bio-organic chemistry; environmental organic chemistry; free radicals; heterocyclic molecules; molecular rearrangements; organometallic chemistry; photochemistry; natural products. Department of Chemistry |
| ENVB*6180 Physiology and Biochemistry of Herbicides W [0.50] |
|---|
| Chemical and biological fate of herbicides in soil. Physical, morphological and physiological factors influencing herbicidal selectivity and modes of action. (Offered in alternate years.) |
| BIOM*6440 Biomedical Toxicology U [0.50] |
|---|
| The course examines chemical compounds injurious to animals and man, toxicity testing, teratogens, carcinogens, factors influencing toxicity, and toxic drug interactions. The mechanism of action, metabolism, and principles of antidotal treatment are also studied. |
| BIOM*6480 Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics U [0.50] |
|---|
| This course describes drug absorption, distribution, biotransformation and elimination in animals and human beings, and emphasizes factors which modify drug behaviour. It integrates molecular mechanisms with physiological processes and highlights the importance of receptors and second messengers in cellular responses to pharmacologic agents. |
| BIOM*6721 Special Topics in Pharmacology-Toxicology U [0.25] |
|---|
| This course will comprise a combination of an experimental procedure (or project), seminars, selected reading or a literature review outside the thesis subject, developed based on the student's requirements. Topics could include clinical pharmacology/toxicology, pharmaco-epidemiology/economics, gerontological or perinatal pharmacology and toxicokinetics. Department of Biomedical Sciences |
