Course Summary
The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy presents "An Integrative and Organ Systems Pharmacology Short Course" to be held in Chapel Hill, N.C. The course consists of a five-day intensive experience. The course emphasizes routine rodent procedures (gavage, injection, cannulation), isolated organ systems (liver, kidney, intestine, brain) and neuropharmacology (brain microdialysis), and includes lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory exercises designed to give participants significant experience with the effect of drugs on organ systems and intact animal models. These models will consist mainly of mice and rats, along with some introduction to higher animal models (dogs, pigs, nonhuman primates). The instruction will be provided by faculty from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, and Touro College.
The next course is scheduled for January 4-8, 2010. Applications are available, with an application deadline of December 1, 2009.
