PHC300Y1 The molecular basis for the action of drugs is presented based upon the physicochemical nature of the drug and its target. PHC320H1 Modern discovery and synthesis of antibiotics, antineoplastics, antiviral and other therapeutic agents. PHC330Y1 The study of the science and technology underlying drug delivery are covered. The properties of different dosage forms and delivery routes are studied with an emphasis on oral and parenteral routes.
Introduction to human clinical trial design for the demonstration of pharmaceutical
bioequivalence of drug products. Students learn the principles underlying
the regulations and methods employed in bioequivalence studies. PHC340Y1 The scientific basis and practical techniques relevant to modern pharmaceutical development. PHC401H1 The goal of this course is to provide students with knowledge of the molecular processes involved in drug transport across biological cell membranes with emphasis on their physiological and clinical significance. PHC430H1 Introduction to controlled drug delivery: Mechanisms and kinetics of controlled drug release. Fundamental theories and mathematical tools for the design of modern dosage forms. Development and applications of controlled drug delivery dosage forms. PHC431H1 In-depth discussion of implementation of pharmaceutical sciences in drug development strategies. Students will apply fundamental principles of pharmaceutics and drug delivery to current problems in the pharmaceutical industry. PHC450H1 Overview of methods of pharmaceutical analysis such as titrations, UV-visible, IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy, fluorescence, HPLC, GC, TLC, electrophoresis, blotting, immunoassays and radiometric methods. Regulatory aspects of drug product quality control are covered. Introduces applications in pharmacy, therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, forensic science, athletics and clinical laboratory medicine. PHC451H1 Presents use of radiopharmaceuticals in diagnosis and therapy, emphasizing those used in nuclear medicine procedures studying neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, haematologic, endocrine and bone pathology. PHC452H1 Introduces nuclear pharmacy through the discussion of problems that explain the design, production, analysis, and the clinical use of radiopharmaceuticals. Topics introduced using group discussions and laboratory exercises. PHC460H1 Lectures by scientists from academia and industry, and student seminars based on journal articles dealing with strategies for discovering new drugs for therapy and diagnosis. PHC461H1 Introduces drug development from the perspective of the pharmaceutical industry. Describes key stages in drug development process; current issues facing industry and role of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists in the process. Lectures are given by specialists employed in the pharmaceutical industry and concepts covered in the lectures will be applied to in-class case studies. PHC470H1 Introduces concepts and issues in international pharmaceutical policy. Emphasis placed on how governments in different jurisdictions manage their public health responsibilities, international obligations, and pressure from special interest groups in terms of pharmaceutical policy. PHC489Y1 This course will provide research experience under the supervision of a Departmental staff member. The goal is to deepen the student’s understanding of the scientific basis and practical techniques relevant to modern pharmaceutical development. |
