(Laboratory) Introduces analytical technique approaches in molecular biology, such as DNA manipulation and mutation 分析, 蛋白质分析, and 基因表达的定量分析, 在其他技术中.

PGX 515  Research Responsibility and Ethics - 1 hour
The course is a guided journey through ethics of scientific research and medical practice involving humans and animals and offers students a scaffolding for resolving potential ethical dilemmas that are in在这里nt to pharmacogenomics. 具体地说, we cover models of bioethical decision making and how they may apply to the design and conduct of human drug research and pharmacogenomic clinical practice. Ethical issues involved with personal genetic information will be emphasized.

PGX 519  Patient Genome Evaluation I - 2 hours
Personal Genome Evaluation I is the first in a set of three courses throughout the MS in Pharmacogenomics curriculum which serve as an opportunity for students to apply concepts mastered in parallel courses in each semester applied to a specific, unique patient that the student will follow throughout his or her entire programmatic work.

Students will be expected to demonstrate mastery of pharmacogenomic concepts through written reports and 分析 of their assigned patient’s genome and auxiliary patient information. 

Review of student work will occur at the midpoint and conclusion of each semester. Successful completion of the course includes complete, satisfactory evaluation 和报告 of all assigned aspects of their patient during that semester.

PGX 520药理学II - 3小时
Discusses the cellular and molecular mechanisms of drug action within the disciplines of endocrine pharmacology, 抗菌素, 癌症药理学. The endocrine subject matter will include pituitary hormones, 甲状腺疾病, 糖尿病, 类固醇和生殖激素. For the antimicrobial 癌症药理学 subject matter, the didactic lectures will focus on drug classes and mechanisms of action.

PGX 521人类遗传学- 4小时
Discusses how genes influence human traits, 疾病, 和行为, including how non-genetic factors interact with genetic factors to produce observable phenotypes. 人类遗传模式, 基因组的组织, 链接, and medical applications of genetics in the diagnosis, 治疗, and prevention of disease will be explored.
