| 752-1301-00L | Special Topics in Toxicology | 2 credits | 2G | K. Hecht, F. Michailidou | |
| Abstract | Journal-club style course involving student presentations and active discussion and critique of recent publications and modern experimental strategies. The focus is on chemical, biochemical, and nutritional aspects of selected topics in Toxicology, with a new group of topics addressed each semester | ||||
| Learning objective | -to stimulate student interest and provide advanced knowledge of current research in Toxicology and its related sciences - to develop skills in critical evaluation of scientific literature, oral presentation and questioning - to understand modern experimental techniques and research approaches relevant in toxicology | ||||
| Content | The journal-club style course involves student presentations and active discussion of recent publications. The primary focus is on chemical, biochemical, and nutritional aspects of selected current topics in Toxicology. Participants are masters or PhD students in Food Sciences and related disciplines (i.e. Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, etc.). | ||||
| Literature | A selection of approximately 20 papers from recent primary scientific literature. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The course is open to Masters or PhD level students. For Masters level participants, a strict prerequisite is (a) previously taken and passed "Introduction to Toxicology" (752-1300) and/or (b) previous courses supporting equivalent knowledge plus permission from the instructor. Please contact the instructor before the start of the class, explaining the basis of your previous knowledge other than the Introduction course, to request special permission. If you would like to take "Special Topics in Toxicology", do not register at the same time for "Advanced Topics in Toxicology". It is only possible to take one, and it is only possible to take the advanced level after completing this course. | ||||
| 752-1302-00L | Advanced Topics in Toxicology  Only for students who have previously taken "Special Topics in Food Toxicology" (752-1301-00L). | 2 credits | 2G | F. Michailidou, S. J. Sturla | |
| Abstract | Journal-club style course that involves student presentations of selected topics in Toxicology on the basis of current primary research and review papers. | ||||
| Learning objective | The goals are to stimulate student interest and provide advanced knowledge of current research in the interdisciplinary area of Food and Nutrition Toxicology and its related sciences. The student should develop skills in the critical evaluation of scientific literature, oral presentation and questioning, and understanding modern experimental techniques in Molecular Toxicology. | ||||
| Content | The journal-club style course involves student presentations of recent publications. The primary focus is on chemical and biochemical aspects of selected topics in Toxicology. Participants are generally masters or PhD students in Food Sciences and related disciplines (i.e. Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, etc.), and strong knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry are prerequisite. Selected course topics change every semester. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Participants are required to have completed previously "Special Topics in Toxicology" (752-1301-00L). Both courses are run concurrently every semester. It is only possible to register for one course at a time. Do not register for "Advanced Topics in Toxicology" until after you have completed "Special Topics in Toxicology" | ||||
