PHAR 499/699: DIRECTED RESEARCH (0+3) credits 1-4
Guided research in any of the areas of mutual interest to the student and faculty.
Maximum of 8 credits.
PHAR 601: MEDICAL PHARMACOLOGY I (9+0) credits 9
Principles, mechanisms of action, therapeutic indications, contraindications, side effects and toxic manifestations of pharmacological agents.
Prereq(s): BCH 601; BCH 602; PCB 610; PCB 611.
PHAR 692: PROBLEMS IN CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS
credits 0
Discussion and literature search of therapeutic problems in specific case histories; indications and contraindications of drug therapy in relation to basic pharmacologic properties; expected beneficial results, possible side effects, adverse reactions and drug interactions. Limited to M.D. students. Interested students should contact the Department Chair to arrange for a tutor (775-784-6956).
PHAR 695: SEMINAR (1+0) credits 1
Presentation on special topics in pharmacology. Maximum of 2 credits.
PHAR 710: MOLECULAR PHARMACOLOGY (3+0) credits 3
This course details the development of our current understanding of receptor signal transduction in mammalian systems. This course is designed for graduate students earning the Ph.D. and interested in careers in biomedical research and development in academia or industry. The course will focus on the molecular biochemistry of receptor structure; mass action considerations governing ligand-receptor binding interactions; molecular pharmacology of transduction of the receptor signal and specific considerations of receptors as pharmaceutical targets. Intended for Molecular Biosciences graduate students pursuing a specialization in pharmacology, this lecture-based course will employ computer-based exercises to teach data analysis and interpretation. Students will use the original scientific literature from a reading list provided.
PHAR 725: ETHICS AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH (2+0) credits 2, S/U only
