PHCL4010

Through exploring cutting-edge research in diverse disciplines of pharmacology in addiction, cancer, and infection, PHCL 4011 (formerly PHCL 4010) will help students develop essential skills of scientific reasoning and inquiry that drive pharmacology research and drug development. Students will develop those skills through activities that include reading research articles and attending guest seminars, short reflective written assignments, class discussions, and a group project on a recently approved clinical drug, examining its development from inception through discovery to clinical application. No prior expertise beyond fundamental biology (1000-levels or equivalent) is required. Throughout the semester, students will engage with peers on pharmacological topics while receiving continuous guidance and feedback from instructors. There are no exams. Assessment is based on engagement in discussions, short written assignments, and group project discussion and presentation. PHCL 4011 is the new course number for the former PHCL 4010.
