Molecular Therapeutics and Cell Signaling Electives
The Molecular Therapeutics and Cell Signaling Track recommends that students complete PHAR 801 Foundations in Pharmacology and other advanced courses in pharmacologic approaches to the development of therapeutic compounds and the study of research problems. Students in this track are also encouraged to take electives in other tracks related to areas of their research project.
PHAR801, Foundations in Pharmacology
The functional regulation of major organ systems by neuronal and/or hormonal influence is described in a lecture and discussion-based format. Opportunities for drug intervention both in health and in selected disease processes are examined, the corresponding intracellular signaling processes described and the rationalization for and limitations of such treatments discussed.
