Utbildningsfakta

Kod: MI7015

This course introduces the principles of toxicology with the aim of understanding the hazards posed to humans and wildlife by chemical contaminants. A particular focus for this course will be on dose-response relationships, how chemicals are taken up, distributed and eliminated in living organisms, subsequent adverse effects, and consideration of underlying molecular mechanisms of toxicity. Topics covered include: * exploration of dose-response relationships, toxicological thresholds and methods in toxicological testing * chemical and biological considerations of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) * toxicological receptors, and mechanisms-of-action leading to adverse-effects Course includes lectures, laboratory work, workshop exercises, presentations and discussions.

Behörighet

For admission to the course, knowledge is required equivalent to a Bachelor of Science, or its equivalent, including at least 30 ECTS in chemistry. Also required is knowledge equivalent to Swedish upper secondary school course English B/English 6.
