Selected Topics

Prerequisites: Permission of Instructor

Terms: Fall/Winter

A practical work experience related to the field of Pharmacy and consultation with a faculty advisor. Students enrolled are participating in a work experience directly related to their academic studies during which they are consulting with a University profession in the field. At the end of the work experience, the student submits a paper which relates employment opportunity to the enhancement of his or her academic studies to the consulting professor to receive credit for the course.

Prerequisites: Permission Required

Terms: Fall/Winter

This is an introductory course for undergraduates, primarily freshman and sophomore level students, who are interested in various aspects of the science behind the drug development process. This course will cover the process of drug discovery and development, introduction to different aspects of basic and applied sciences involved in drug candidate identifications, and how candidate molecules are made into drugs and drug products in the clinic and market.

Prerequisites: College level introductory Chemistry, Physics, or Biology

Terms: Winter

This course serves as an introduction to pharmaceutical sciences. It will cover biological and physico-chemical components related to pharmaceutical sciences, drug delivery, drug molecule movement in the body, and drug product performance and development, including biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics.

Prerequisites: Enforced: CHEM 130, 125 and 126 with C- grade or higher; Advisory: MATH 115

Terms: Fall

Students will be taught basic concepts of Physcial Chemistry including solubility, stability, mass transfer, chemical kinetics and their application to the design of pharmaceutical dosage forms like tablets, injectable solutions, emulsions, cream and adhesive patches. Application of basic pharmaceutics principles to the design of nanoparticle products, recombinant proteins and drug delivery approaches will be covered.

Prerequisites: (MATH 115 or 120) and (CHEM 230 or 260); Minimum grade requirement: C- or T for transfer credit

Terms: Fall

Undergraduate Seminar in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Medicinal Chemistry - Students will be exposed to the wide range of contemporary research in pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry and clinical pharmacy. Presenters will be University of Michigan or invited scientists and graduate students primarily from the College of Pharmacy. Students are permitted to attend seminars from any of the three seminar programs offered by the College of Pharmacy, or other relevant scientific seminars at the University of Michigan by permission.

Prerequisites: BSPS students in their final year of enrollment.

Terms: Fall/Winter

This elective course introduces the principles of modern qualitative and quantitative physical, chemical, and biosensors and analytical techniques that are utilized frequently in the pharmacy and medicine. These sensors have critical roles in pharmaceutical preparations, point-of-care diagnostics and patient monitoring. The course will cover the fundamentals of physical sensors (for measuring temperature, pressure, flow, humidity, motion), chemical sensors (for measuring pH, blood gas, anesthetic gases and exhaled breath) and biosensors (for measuring blood glucose, proteins, DNA, liposomes, biomarkers), from the simplest applications to the most advanced and novel applications.

Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing AND completion of or concurrent enrollment in Chem 230 or 260: OR Graduate Rackham or Graduate Professional standing
