PHS 641 - Seminar in Pharmaceutical Sciences I

This weekly seminar will bring external experts to campus to educate trainees in different areas of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, such as biopharmaceutical research; pharmaceutical design, processing, and manufacturing; ethical issues related to drug development; and regulatory processes to ensure efficacy and safety. This course will be designed for MSPS trainees, but will be available to all Chapman graduate students with the appropriate interests and backgrounds. Trainees will select three presentations given throughout the trimester and submit five-page papers that include a summary of the topic, the technical specifications and challenges, the opportunities for further development (e.g. commercialization), and the potential ethical and regulatory dilemmas addressed by or arising from the topic. Enrollment will be required each year for all MSPS trainees. PHS 641 and PHS 793 share class lectures and are held together. PHS 641 may be repeated for a maximum of 2 credits. (Offered as needed.) 1 credit
