This introductory graduate course provides comprehensive knowledge of cardiovascular sciences with a focus on approaches to development of therapeutic strategies against cardiovascular diseases. Subjects to be covered include fundamentals of cardiovascular pathophysiology, including vascular diseases, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiovascular nutrition and toxicology, and molecular pharmacology of vasoactive peptides. Also covered will be integrative interactions of the cardiovascular system with diabetes, renal system, respiratory system and sleep disorders. Evaluations will be based on mid-term and comprehensive final examinations as well as student presentations. 3 Credits, Spring, Professor Suzuki.

Psychoactive compounds are utilized widely (both legally and illegally). Understanding how they work from the level of receptors to behavior informs our preclinical knowledge and our knowledge of basic neurobiology. The first two-thirds of class sessions will be lectures and discussions of primary literature. The final one-third will be student presentations.

Fundamentals of Pharmacology is a general overview of pharmacology suitable for a student with a BS in a science or a senior undergraduate biology or chemistry major. It begins by covering the fundamental principles of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Drug-receptor interactions will be further discussed in the context of the pharmacology and physiology of the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and in the treatment of various diseases.

Laboratory Research in Pharmacology consists of research-based (section 02) courses. In the research-based option (section 02) students choose a laboratory and mentor and spend approximately 15 hrs/week on a research project. The student gives a presentation on such work at the end of the semester. Faculty involvement includes discussing with the student the scientific rationale of the project, teaching the appropriate laboratory techniques, aiding in experimental design, and helping develop the student's presentation.

This course is designed for MS students. Primary literature in pharmacology will be read and discussed. âIs it better to read more papers in less detail or fewer papers in greater detail?â Deciding how much information one needs from a particular article will be addressed. Students will utilize background reading and discovery to understand a paper completely. Approaches to getting the most out of scientific articles with the most efficiency will be explored. Going back to earlier literature to gain an understanding of methods used in papers will be utilized. Extensive class discussion will be required for every student.
