Course Summary

The Integrative and Organ Systems Pharmacology Short Course is an intensive, six-day experience at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The next course is scheduled for June 10-15, 2012. The application deadline is May 4.

The course emphasizes routine rodent procedures (gavage, injection, cannulation), isolated organ systems (liver, kidney, intestine, brain), neuropharmacology (brain microdialysis), and behavioral testing. The program 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, Touro College, and GlaxoSmithKline.
