药物科学理学硕士-生化药理学

生化药理学的重点是负责药物和其他异源生物的生化机制，以及对健康和受损的生命系统的基因作用。您将有机会与多个领域的教师一起学习，包括行为，心血管和内分泌药理学，神经药理学，免疫药理学，化学疗法，毒理学和代谢性疾病。您的研究机会包括研究细胞培养和/或健康且受到感染的动物模型中药物和基因的生物化学机制。您将有机会创建和/或使用包括转基因和基因敲除小鼠在内的基因工程动物，并将疾病模型整合到动物模型中，以研究疾病中的基因功能。您将广泛了解药物代谢酶和转运蛋白的调控以及该调控在药物代谢中的意义。
The biochemical pharmacology track focuses on the biochemical mechanisms responsible for drug and other xenobiotic, and gene actions on living systems, both healthy and compromised. You will have the opportunity to study with faculty in multiple areas including behavioral, cardiovascular and endocrine pharmacology, neuropharmacology, immunopharmacology, chemotherapy, toxicology, and metabolic diseases. Your research opportunities include studying the biochemical mechanism of drugs and genes in cell cultures and/or healthy and compromised animal models. You will have the opportunity to create and/or use genetically engineered animals that include transgenic and knockout mice, as well as to integrate disease models into the animal models in order to study the gene function in diseases. You will develop a broad knowledge of the regulation of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters and the implications of this regulation in drug metabolism.
