Computational Toxicology and Pharmacology Course

Drs. Lyons, Mayeno, Reisfeld, and Yang are preparing an innovative new on-line course entitled Computational Toxicology and Pharmacology. This course is not yet being offered.

This course is intended for graduate students and upper level undergraduate students wishing to gain a background in computational toxicology and pharmacology, professionals looking to develop the skills necessary to be able to carry out computational toxicology and pharmacology studies, and quantitative and biomedical scientists and students who are interested in integrating computational technology into toxicology, pharmacology, and biology.

The course will provide students an understanding of the key elements of toxicology and pharmacology necessary to carry out computational modeling, an appreciation of what tools are appropriate for various types of computational toxicology and pharmacology analyses, and a basic competency in the use of several software tools important for computational toxicology and pharmacology studies.

Course Outline:
   Module 1 - Introduction to Computational Toxicology and Pharmacology
   Module 2 - Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME)
   Module 3 - Prediction of Chemical Properties and Toxicological/Pharmacological Endpoints
   Module 4 - Computational Biochemistry
   Module 5 - Classical Pharmacokinetic/Toxicokinetic Modeling
   Module 6 - Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic/Toxicokinetic
   Module 7 - Emerging Computer Modeling Technologies

If you have an interest in participating in this exciting area of biomedical science through enrollment in this course, please contact Dr. Raymond S.H. Yang or Dr. Brad Reisfeld.

Workshops

Our group has offered a number of multi-day training sessions on Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling: International Workshops on PBPK/PD Modeling and Risk Assessment (1992, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2001, and 2003), and a PBPK Modeling Workshop for Beginners (2005).

Dr. Raymond S.H. Yang will be leading a Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling Workshop for Beginners at Colorado State University August 4-8, 2008. For more information see the course outline.

If you have an interest in participating in one of these interesting and informative sessions, please contact Dr. Raymond S.H. Yang .
