PHARMACOKINETICS

PHARMACY 621

Introduction to pharmacokinetics. Fundamental principles and specific physical models are discussed. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are thoroughly described including applications to pharmacotherapy mostly through a one body compartment model. Biopharmaceuticals and small molecule drugs are discussed based on their specific pharmacokinetics. All pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics principles and concepts are further described in depth in terms of their clinical applications with an emphasis on the role of the pharmacy professional.

PHMSCI 420

Applications of physicochemical principles to pharmaceutical systems.

PHMSCI 761

Introduction to basic concepts of drug delivery and action, methods used to study drug action. Includes a brief survey of drugs acting on the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system and other drug targets.

PHMSCI 510

Underlying science and pharmacological actions of drugs and the biological effects of drugs on human health. Covers drugs used to treat common illnesses and diseases as well as commonly abused drugs.

MEDPHYS 780

Concepts and techniques of pharmacokinetic modeling will be presented in the context of biomedical imaging. Examine applications in various specialties, e.g. neurology and oncology, using different imaging tools, e.g. positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
