Course Description
At the core of most modern medical treatments is an understanding of how cells and biological molecules work. In this course, students examine the functioning of medications such as antibiotics, antiviral drugs, chemotherapy, and psychiatric drugs. We also look at the molecular biology and treatment of conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and auto-immune disorders such as lupus. Various exercises, assignments, discussions, and activities will be used to demonstrate understanding of concepts.
