msps 3303 - research techniques and instrumentation (3)

this course engages students in a broad range of experimental techniques and instruments utilized in pharmaceutical science to support research in bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynmaics, drug metabolism, and drug transport. in the area of bioanalysis students will engage in discussions and activities that include the theory and approach to liquic chromatography and mass spectrometry, method development and validation, sample extraction, and good laboratory practices utilized in the regulatory environment. students interested in drug metabolism and transport will learn about in vitro experimental approaches to study the biotransformation and transport of drug molecules using recombinant enzymes and cell systems. students interested in pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics will explore contemporary study designs to support preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies along with utilization of advanced software applications to perform pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis, modeling, and simulation.
