ToxMSDT online component comprises of six e-modules on principles of toxicology, pathophysiology, anatomy and physiology, applied systems biology, biochemistry and molecular genetics, and regulatory frameworks. The primary target audience of these online modules is the minority students who are enrolled in the Toxicology Mentoring and Skill Development Training Program. However, these online modules are open to the biomedical community and the public in general and not restricted to students enrolled in the program. They aim to train and educate the general public about toxicology and toxicology research. |
Principles of Toxicology
The e-modules use ToxTutor content to explore the fundamentals of toxicology. ToxTutor is a self-paced tutorial covering key principles of toxicology for users of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) chemical and toxicology databases. It is recommend that you take the first module, which is open to everyone: In this module you will learn the fundamental principles of toxicology, including dose-response relationships, how chemicals enter the body and how they are metabolized and excreted, and major health outcomes of intoxications. If you need a certificate of tutorial completion, please register.
Society of Toxicology e-Modules
The e-modules use Society of Toxicology Continuing Education courses online content to teach topics on toxicology testing, basic principles of human risk assessment, concepts of pathology, applications of computational systems biology for toxicology and issues on animal models. Most courses run approximately three and a half hours and are divided into a brief introduction followed by approximately four 45-minute segments that are viewed individually.
Access to these e-modules is restricted to ToxMSDT meentees and mentors. The topics explored are:
- Alternative In Vitro Toxicology Testing for the 21st Century
- Basic Principles of Human Risk Assessment
- Segment Specific Renal Pathology for the Non-Pathologist
- Applications of Computational Systems Biology for Toxicology
- Nonclinical animal models enabling Biopharmaceutical advances in Translational Medicine
Pathophysiology e-Module
Pathophysiology is the study of the physical and functional changes that occur during a disease process. An e-module on Pathophysiology is currently available. It has been developed in collaboration with Dr. Sharon M. Gwaltney-Brant DVM, PhD.
Other e-Modules
Other e-Modules are currently being developed in a variety of topics, including Applied Systems Biology/Toxicology, Introduction to Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, and Regulatory Framework .
They will be completed and accessible to everyone by September 2017.
