535-0011-00L | Drug Seminar Die Belegung dieser Lerneinheit ist nur für Studierende möglich, die im Master Pharmazie oder im Master Pharmaceutical Sciences eingeschrieben sind. | 5 KP | 9S | A. Burden, K.‑H. Altmann, M. Detmar, K. Eyer, C. Halin Winter, J. Hall, S.‑D. Krämer, J.‑C. Leroux, C. Müller, V. I. Otto, U. Quitterer, J. Scheuermann, R. Schibli, C. Steuer | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Kurzbeschreibung | The course provides a platform for the investigation, presentation and discussion of a topic with relevance to the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Students work in small groups on a chosen topic, they write a mini-review and present their work on a one day symposium. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lernziel | The main objectives of this course are: - students develop their scientific reflection (Critical Thinking) and working skills by working independently on a relevant pharmaceutical topic - students gain in-depth knowledge of the topic investigated - students train their scientific writing and presentation skills - students train their ability to plan a project and work in a team | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inhalt | The Course Drug Seminar takes place during the first 7 weeks of the 1. Master semester. It is a compulsory course of the MSc Pharmacy curriculum and an elective course in the MSc PharmSciences. The course provides a platform for the investigation, presentation and discussion of a topic with relevance to the field of pharmaceutical sciences. During the course, students work in small teams on a topic of their choice and elaborate a written mini-review and an oral presentation. Each team is tutored by a lecturer of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The work is mainly based on literature search / review, but may also involve conducting interviews or site visits, if appropriate. The final presentations of all groups will take place in the framework of a dedicated Symposium held in the middle of the semester. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Only for students of MSc Pharmacy and MSc Pharmaceutical Sciences. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
535-0310-00L | Glycobiology in Drug Development | 1 KP | 1V | V. I. Otto | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Kurzbeschreibung | Protein-based drugs constitute around 25% of new approvals and most of them are glycoproteins. Using selected examples of prominent glycoprotein drugs, the course aims at providing insight into glycosylation-activity relationships and into biotechnological production and analytics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lernziel | Students gain basic knowledge in "pharmaceutical glycobiology". This implies knowing and understanding: - major mechanisms underlying the roles of glycosylation for the biological/therapeutic actions of glycoproteins (glycosylation-function relationships) using prominent examples of glycoprotein drugs. - the major types of protein-linked glycans and the biosynthetic pathways for their formation - how glycoprotein drugs are produced (including the most important expression systems used), glycoengineered and analysed (quality control). Students are able to apply this knowledge in solving simple problems in glycoprotein drug development (on paper). Students gain the ability to reflect on roles of glycosylation in various biological contexts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inhalt | lecture plan: 1. Glycans - information carriers in biology and pharmacotherapy 2. Glucocerebrosidase and the biosynthesis of N-glycans 3. Improving the therapeutic profile of monoclonal antibodies by glycoengineering 4. Mucin-type O-glycans and sialylation as gCQA of glycoprotein hormone drugs 5. production and gCQA analysis of Glucocerebrosidase, monoclonal antibodies, glycoprotein hormone drugs - Glycoanalytics 6. EPO "the same but different" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
