210 Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy—M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences PHRM 5701—Graduate Seminar This course will equip students with the necessary tools to prepare and present lucid reports on their own research, as well as the research of others. The course will consist of weekly lectures that will be required of all graduate students throughout their course of study and research. Speakers will include faculty members and guests, as well as students presenting aspects of their research. (16-0-1) PHRE (Elective) Courses PHRE 5023—Pharmaceutical Marketing This course is intended to provide graduate students with an in-depth understanding of the global development and marketing of pharmaceuticals, with an emphasis on the U.S. system. (48-0-3) PHRE 5036—Patent and Litigation This course teaches students the basics of patent laws, patent structure, patent literatures, patenting process/evaluation, and patent invalidity/infringement/litigations. It is focused only on pharmaceutical patents, and the students are expected to learn the basics by reviewing and practicing real case patenting and litigation studies. Since novelty and innovation are integral tasks of a pharmaceutical formulation scientist, this course will help students to successfully patent and prosecute their novel research. (48-0-3) PHRE 5108—Current Topics in Pharmaceutical Sciences This course covers special topics selected by faculty members and visiting scientists. The goal of each topic is to provide students with an understanding of, and an appreciation for, current problems and procedures underlying the pharmaceutical sciences discipline. (48-0-3) PHRE 5120—Research Design This course provides an overview of research design. It covers understanding the preliminary considerations that go into selecting a research design. These include considering philosophical world views; reviewing the literature; understanding the use of theory; sampling; measurement; pre-experimental, correlational, or experimental design; data collection; and data analysis strategies. Discussions on the process of research as it relates to each approach will be included. This process includes writing an introduction; specifying a purpose statement; developing research questions and/or hypotheses; and proposing methods, including data collection and analysis plans. Faculty permission is required. (48-0-3) PHRE 5207—Secondary Data Analysis of PharmacyRelated Sources This course guides students through the intricacies of utilizing secondary data for research. The emphasis is on utilizing sources of previously collected data that deal with pharmacyrelated issues, including administrative, sociobehavioral, and clinical themes. Methodological issues arising from the various analytic approaches (e.g., meta-analysis, case-control analysis, content analysis) will be identified and discussed. (48-0-3) PHRE 5209—Advanced Pharmacokinetics This course explains the model development techniques that can be utilized for complex pharmacodynamics systems. Advanced data analysis techniques and modem pharmacokinetic theory will be discussed in conjunction with PK/PD literature. (48-0-3) PHRE 5210—Modern Medicine This course aims to integrate various multidisciplinary domains of science and technology to address the development and translation of advanced, multifunctional pharmaceuticals for targeted therapy of specific organs/tissues/cells in hardto-treat diseases. It describes different types of smart, multifunctional drug delivery systems (DDSs) and drug delivery devices (DDDs) using various advanced nanobiomaterials. The course elaborates on the applications of nanoscale, multimodal DDSs/DDDs in targeted therapy of detrimental diseases, such as solid tumors. It outlines cell-/tissue-specific targeted therapy and provides overviews on the applications of theranostics for simultaneous diagnosis and therapy. (48-0-3) PHRE 5213—Epidemiology of Drug Use, Abuse, and Misuse This course is designed to introduce doctoral students to the epidemiology of drug use, misuse, and abuse. The course focuses on drug use, misuse, and abuse as social phenomena and deals with the history of drug use and regulatory attempts in America; pharmacology and use patterns related to specific drugs; use, abuse, and misuse as medical, psychological, and social concepts; drug importation, manufacture, and distribution (including both the legal and illegal drug industries); perspectives on the etiology of drug use/abuse; drug abuse prevention and educational programs; and approaches to drug abuse treatment. (48-0-3) PHRE 5216— Pharmaceutical Polymers This course presents basic concepts and properties of polymers as related to formulation, development, and design of pharmaceutical dosage forms and products. It describes how basic principles of polymers—structural, physical, chemical, and mechanical properties—can be utilized in modifying and developing current and novel pharmaceutical products. The course highlights important areas of polymer applications in controlled drug delivery, targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and medical devices. (48-0-3)
