BIOL 5332

Toxicology

This course provides graduate students in environmental science, biology and industrial hygiene an in-depth study of the general principles and mechanisms of chemical toxicity, including carcinogenesis, developmental and genetic toxicology, and toxic effects on target organs and systems.  Although the focus of the course is on mammalian toxicology, this course provides important background principles for students interested in environmental and ecological toxicology.  Prerequisites include course work in biochemistry (e.g., BIOL 4431 or equivalent) or physiology (e.g., BIOL 4434 or equivalent) or environmental toxicology (e.g., BIOL 4235).  

BIOL 5332 is required for graduate ENSC-INDH students and for ENSC-BIOL majors interested in pursuing environmental toxicology as a career path.  This course serves as an elective for graduate BIOL and other ENSC majors.

BIOL 5332 is offered during the fall semester every year.
