TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES:
COURSES TAUGHT:
Ph.D. Level
Pharmaceutical
Biotechnology
(PHA 807- 3 hours)
(Dual labeled
course taught to Ph.D. students as a core course and Pharm.D. students as an
elective).
This team taught course is designed to familiarize the student with current technology. Emphasis will be given to methods involving genetic manipulations and immunologic tools. In addition, the course will include a thorough review of the most current agents (both those approved and those undergoing testing) including a discussion of how they function and how they are produced. The Ph.D. component of the course has a 4-hour/week laboratory associated with it.
This
course is designed to provide the student with the entry level knowledge and
skills necessary for employing basic pharmacokinetic principles in the selection
and evaluation of drugs.
A course
designed to provide the student with the advanced knowledge and skills necessary
for problem solving techniques related to the relationship between plasma
concentration and effect and clearance concepts as it relates to drug therapy.
This
team taught course is designed to study the pre-formulation, formulation details
and limitations of various delivery systems – including controlled drug
delivery systems.

Pharm.D.
Level
Principles
of Pharmacotherapy
- Quantatitive Pharmacokinetics Section (440- 3 cr. hour)
A
team taught course designed to provide the student with the background knowledge
and skills necessary for employing pharnacokinetic principles in the selection
and evaluation of drug therapy. Emphasis will be placed upon complete
understanding of the basic, clinically applicable, pharmacokinetic formulae and
the assumptions that are involved with their use. I teach the Basic
Pharmacokinetics part of this course.
Pharmaceutics
laboratory (425, 426)
This team
taught laboratory course is designed to acquaint the student with the
compounding and dispensing skills related to pharmaceutical dosage forms. The
course also involves the study of the mathematics encountered in pharmacy
practice and the application of
calculations in laboratory exercises. The laboratory is designed around a
student centered, problem based approach to learning.

Introduction to Research (3 hours)
This
course is designed to acquaint the Pharm.D. students with the current techniques
utilized in Pharmaceutics. Research projects include preparation of
microspheres, stability determinations, drug assays, cell culture studies and
intact animal studies. The students spend 9 hours/week in the laboratory
Project Development ( 3 hours)
In
this course the students plan and execute research projects relevant to current
topics in Pharmaceutics. The students spend 9 hours/week in the laboratory
