Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject will introduce you to how variation in human molecular genetics may affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. Examples will focus on mutations associated with altered drug metabolism, excretion and potential for toxicity. Immune responses from a cellular and molecular perspective will be introduced incorporating innate immunity, inflammation, chemical cascades, adaptive immunity and cells of the immune system. Within this context immunopharmacology and immunotherapy will also be explored.

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Use an understanding of the variability within and between populations to interpret effects on drug metabolism.
02. Evaluate how the variability in pharmacogenetics can cause toxic levels of drugs to circulate.
03. Assess different causes of pharmaceutical toxicity including physiological change during human development, as a result of drug overdose or in a range of diseases
04. Explain the process of inflammation and the steps involved in initiation of the immune response to analyse drug interactions with the immune system.
05. Discuss how immunogenetics gives rise to clonal variation to fight infection and how immunopharmacotherapies can be used to target disease.
