First Year Seminars The 199Y1 and 199H1 seminars are designed to provide the opportunity to work closely with an instructor in a class of no more than twenty-four students. These interactive seminars are intended to stimulate the students’ curiosity and provide an opportunity to get to know a member of the professorial staff in a seminar environment during the first year of study. Details here. 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. PHC331H1 Introduction to human clinical trial design for the demonstration of pharmaceutical bioequivalence of drug products. Students will 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. PHC420H1 This course shows students the links between basic science and the drugs used therapeutically to treat clinical problems. PHC421Y1 This course provides students with a fundamental knowledge of the thermodynamics of the non-covalent interactions important in biochemical interactions and drug development. 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. 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. PHC462H1 This course is designed to broaden student’s understanding of the development and licensing of new drugs and how scientific principles, ethics, governmental regulations and commercial considerations are coordinated for designing clinical trails. The format involves lectures, group discussion and student presentations. 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. |
