In the Bachelor of Science - Biomedical Toxicology program, students will explore the effects and mechanisms of action of toxic substances in biomedical toxicology. The program will include courses in mammalian physiology, pharmacology, and pathology. Students will study substances of interest including pharmaceuticals, metals, industrial chemicals, and natural toxins, and will examine toxicological testing required to assure the safety of new drugs, consumer products, pesticides and industrial chemicals before they go to market. Students will be concerned with issues such as the risk of cancer from exposure to environmental agents, including both natural and synthetic chemicals. The study of the metabolism of carcinogenic and other toxic substances, and the effects of these substances on DNA will also be discussed. Students will also learn about epidemiology (the distribution of toxic effects on large populations of organisms), how toxic substances act at the molecular level (biochemical toxicology), as well as their effects on the whole animal (toxicological pathology).
Sample Careers:
A principal aim of the Co-op program in Biomedical Toxicology is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional career by enhancing the integration of theory and practice.
