Drug Toxicology and Translational Technology

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Drug Toxicology and Translational Technology
Leerdoelen	Upon completion of the course, the student can: - Explain the interaction of drugs with different systems of the human body in the context of toxicity thereby describing the different toxicological profiles drugs can have. - Summarize the various in vitro innovations to replace animal testing in the toxicology field. - Understand the importance of toxicology testing for novel drug delivery strategies.
Omschrijving	In this course, we will build on the basic knowledge of toxicology that students have acquired in the second year course on ‘Metabolism and Toxicology’. Interactions of drugs with various systems in the human body will be discussed, with particular focus on toxicological effects drugs may have in these systems. With the arrival of advanced strategies for drug delivery, evaluation of changes in drug toxicity profiles and drug safety are essential. As such, novel and traditional toxicity testing methods and models will be discussed and compared.
