PHAR 380 Toxicological Inquiry Units: 3.00
Students in this course will learn about the human toxicology associated with both pharmaceutical and environmental exposures. General principles and mechanisms of toxicity will be introduced in order to describe how different pharmaceuticals and environmental compounds can lead to adverse effects in humans. Students will apply module content to current toxicological topics through exploration of popular media and the scientific literature. Development of a research proposal contributes to a large proportion of course work and assessment.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe principles and mechanisms of toxicity in order to explain the range of possible effects following exposure to chemicals.
- Consolidate academic literature and module content in order to develop a research question and hypothesis for an experiment involving a potentially toxic chemical.
- Compare and contrast popular media representations of toxicity with relevant scientific literature in order to critically evaluate how toxicology is perceived by the public.
