PHAR 710 MOLECULAR PHARMACOLOGY
Lecture+Lab: 3+0, Credit(s): 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.
