Interdisciplinary Toxicology (ITOX)
Interdisciplinary Toxicology (ITOX) ITOX 5103 Biochemical Toxicology Prerequisites: Graduate standing; consent of instructor. Description: In-depth overview of biochemical and molecular mechanisms of interactions between exogenous chemicals and living systems. Transport, distribution, elimination and alteration of exogenous chemicals within the body and mechanisms whereby exogenous chemicals disrupt biochemical processes critical for cell/organ/ organismal integrity and function. Same course as VBSC 5103. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med ITOX 5282 Methods of Forensic Science Description: Advanced-level laboratory course in which students apply knowledge from earlier course work in a hands-on setting and employ fundamental techniques and methods related to forensic biology, forensic microbiology, forensic pathology, and forensic toxicology. Same course as FRNS 5282. Credit hours: 2 Contact hours: Lab: 4 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lab Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med
ITOX 5363 Principles of Toxicology Prerequisites: A course in chemistry and physiology. Description: Basic concepts in toxicology such as chemical partitioning, dose response, toxicokinetics, toxidynamics, and bioavailability. Particular focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxicity of a few representative natural and man-made compounds. Case studies used to understand real-life scenarios. No credit for students with credit in BIOL 4363. Same course as BIOL 5363. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med ITOX 5423 Techniques in Environmental Toxicology Prerequisites: Organic chemistry or consent of instructor. Description: Practical understanding of modern techniques used to quantify exposure and effects of environmental toxicants. Laboratory topics include gas chromatography, HPLC, atomic absorption spectroscopy, immunoassay, and toxicity testing. Same course as ZOOL 5423. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med ITOX 5523 Forensic Toxicology Description: Introduction of fundamental aspects of forensic toxicology and emphasis on major subfields of postmortem forensic toxicology, human performance toxicology and forensic drug testing. Examination of methodologies and analyses associated with these three major subfields. Same course as FRNS 5523. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture
ITOX 5303 Organismal Ecotoxicology Prerequisites: Consent of instructor.
Description: Comparative study of the major groups of environmental contaminants (e.g. heavy metals, PCB's, insecticides) and an introduction to the basic theories, principles and techniques associated with the study of contaminant fate and effects on organisms. Same course as ZOOL 4303 and ZOOL 5303. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med ITOX 5343 Population and Community Toxicology Prerequisites: Course in ecology strongly recommended. Description: Examines the exposure of animals to environmental contaminants and resulting effects at the individual through community level. The dynamic nature of exposure to contaminants will be of particular interest in this course. For example, how do the natural history traits of a species either protect it from exposure, or enhance its potential for exposure to contaminants? Topics will range from the historical perspectives to ecotoxicology to study design and risk assessment. Same course as ZOOL 5343. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med
Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med ITOX 5543 Advanced Forensic Toxicology Prerequisites: FRNS 5523.
Description: Familiarizes the student with advanced aspects of forensic toxicology in view of current forensic toxicological trends. Covers risk assessment principles, factors in pharmacokinetics, weapons of mass destruction, and integrating concepts with current applications. Same course as FRNS 5543. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture
Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med ITOX 5801 Non Clinical Drug Development Prerequisites: Graduate standing and consent of IOR.
Description: This course will cover the basic to highly-regulated concepts in nonclinical drug development including pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology, along with topics in chemistry manufacturing and controls. Same course as VBSC 5801. Credit hours: 1 Contact hours: Lecture: 1 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Dean of Veterinary Med
