Spring 2025 Instructors:

Toxicologists in all fields are concerned with mechanism of action or how a specific toxicant or class of toxicants produces toxicity. Introductory toxicology courses typically focus on the adverse effects exerted by a specific compound, with some examination of mechanisms. The entire focus of this upper-level graduate course is on the "how" and the "why", or a detailed examination of biochemical mechanism of toxicity. There will be some lectures, but the majority of the course will consist of student-led discussions on specific mechanisms of action. Further, students will write a review-style article on a chosen mechanism of action. Prerequisite: HSCI 56000.

Learning Outcomes
