20 201: Mechanisms of Drug Actions
4.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Chemical and biological analysis of the metabolism and distribution of drugs and chemicals in animals and humans, and the mechanisms by which they cause therapeutic and toxic responses. Examines pharmacokinetics, metabolism, pharmacodynamics, toxicity and pharmacogenetics as foundations for drug development. Includes case studies and literature discussions of specific drugs, drug classes, and therapeutic targets.

20 202: In vivo Models: Principles and Practices
1.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Selected aspects of anatomy, histology, immuno-cytochemistry, in situ hybridization, physiology, and cell biology of mammalian organisms and their pathogens. Subject material integrated with principles of toxicology, in vivo genetic engineering, and molecular biology. A lab/demonstration period each week involves experiments in anatomy (in vivo), physiology, and microscopy to augment the lectures. Offered first half of spring term.

20 213: DNA Damage and Genomic Instability
2.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Focuses on the biochemistry and molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and DNA repair. Analyzes the chemistry of DNA damaging events, and continues with analysis of the mutagenic and toxic consequences of modifications to DNA structure. Also presents the contrasting perspective that normal DNA processing leads to mutations. Moves from analysis and discussion of key DNA repair pathways to connections between DNA repair and human diseases. Discussion of current literature and in-depth discussions of the chemistry and biochemistry of DNA metabolism form the foundation of the subject.

20 215: Macroepidemiology, Population Genetics, and Stem Cell Biology of Human Cancers
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Studies the logic and technology needed to discover genetic and environmental causes and accelerating factors for common human cancers. Includes an introduction to metakaryotic stem cell biology. Analyzes large, organized historical public health databases using quantitative carcinogenesis cascade computer models. Means to test hypotheses that certain genes carry mutations conferring risk for common cancers via genetic analyses in large human cohorts.
