PHRM 616 - Concepts and Methods in Drug Metabolism

The overall goal of this course is to enhance the student’s understanding of drug metabolism by connecting pharmacokinetic parameters to biological processes. This involves learning theoretical concepts concerning enzymes kinetic, drug metabolism pathways, and how diseases and drugs interact with enzyme expression and function. These concepts will be connected to the practical considerations for investigators interested in studying changes in drug metabolism in vivo and in vitro. (Offered as needed.) 2 credits
