The target of the course is to contribute to the qualification of the safety assessor (here: for the part of “metabolism, kinetics and structure-activity relationships”). Contents of the course: -Principles and basic concepts for the impact of the organism on foreign substances and foreign substances on the organism. -Fundamentals of biotransformation and biokinetics, the structure […]

Metals are used in almost every aspect of modern society, from transport to energy, housing to healthcare, food to technology. Innovation continues apace to develop ever more useful metal-containing materials for wider and more specialised applications, like for new energy technologies (e.g. solar cells, batteries, wind generation, etc) and to produce complex electronic devices and […]

Courses include: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Environmental Toxicology Sources and Fates of Pollutants Cell and Molecular Toxicology Advanced Microbiology Molecular and Cellular Basis of Bacterial Pathogenesis Pathogenesis Environmental Microbiology Drug Action and Development

This programme provides students with a research-orientated training in the application of molecular and cell biology to develop an understanding of chemical toxicity at the cellular and molecular level. You will study within a lively, highly interactive teaching and research environment. One of the most rapidly developing areas of toxicology is the use of molecular, […]

Courses include: Pharmacogenomics Proteomics Advanced Pharmaceutical Chemistry Structure-Activity Relationship & Drug Design Spectrometry in Biomedicine Computing Applications in Pharmaceutical Sciences Immunopharmaceutics Advanced Pharmacokinetics Dosage Form Design & Evaluation Drug Discovery and Design Drug Transport and Delivery Molecular Structural Biology Intracellular Drug Delivery and Targeting Drug Metabolism (Morphology)

This module is focussed on understanding mechanisms of toxicity at the molecular level. In a number of lectures and case-studies, molecular mechanisms underlying (organ-selective) toxicity and carcinogenicity will be discussed. Special emphasis will be on the role of drug metabolism and bio(in)activation in toxicology. Topics include: multiplicity and properties of drug-metabolising enzymes (cytochrome P450, glutathione […]

The course will provide students with the opportunity to develop their research skills and to receive advanced level training in molecular toxicology research. Students will obtain a wide range of specialist knowledge pertaining to current issues in medicine and environmental safety. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the postgraduate training, students will have gained postgraduate […]

The course is co-developed and co-delivered with industry and cover the range of conventional and novel therapeutic modalities, including understanding biological pathways and therapeutic mechanisms, diagnostic and prognostic tools, identifying novel targets, and characterising the pharmacologic profiles of new compounds, including adverse effects and toxicity.

The UCD MSc in Regulatory Affairs and Toxicology provides the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to understand current regulatory landscape and the latest toxicological techniques. The programme: – provides a broad, modern training in theoretical and practical aspects of fundamental and applied toxicology -prepares individuals to collate, interpret and communicate toxicological information provides an opportunity […]

The aim of the course is to familiarize participants with the mechanisms by which DNA damage causes genetic alterations and cancer and the cellular processes which protect human beings from the deleterious effects of DNA damaging agents. In this module, we will focus on the different types of damage that can be formed in the […]
