PHARM 302 - Pharmaceutics 2

3 units (fi 6)(FIRST, 3-1S-1)

Provides students with fundamental knowledge of physicochemical and biological factors that affect the manufacturing, compounding, application, and behaviour of drug products and pharmaceutical dosage forms. This course explores the rationale underlying, as well as the standards governing, the formulation and quality control of pharmaceutical preparations. Emphasis on advanced dosage forms, biologicals as pharmaceuticals, and more complex compounding practices. (Restricted to Pharmacy students.)

PHARM 610 - Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

The focus of this course is on the design and development of novel delivery systems for various treatment and diagnostic applications. A particular attention will be paid to the physicochemical principles behind the development of different drug delivery systems, their biological application and significance. Emphasis is given to polymer based systems and assembled nano-carriers for the delivery of therapeutic drugs, proteins, vaccines and genes. Prerequisite: Consent of Faculty.
