EH 720: Introduction to Physiologically-Based Toxicokinetic/Pharmacokinetic Modeling
Category : Academic Student Opportunities
Description
There is still space available to register in EHS 720: Introduction to Physiologically-Based Toxicokinetic (PBTK)/Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling with Dr. Qiang Zhang!
The health effects of environmental or pharmaceutical chemicals depend on the concentrations of the xenobiotics and their metabolites in the target tissues. Understanding and predicting chemical internal concentrations (tissue dosimetry) requires a physiologically-based toxicokinetic (PBTK) or pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling approach. Based on human physiology and anatomy, PBTK/PBPK models mechanistically simulate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes that affect the fates of exogenous chemicals in the human body, producing, as model output, changes in chemical tissue concentrations over time. PBTK/PBPK modeling has be increasingly applied in chemical health risk assessment and drug development. Students will learn numerical simulation tools to model what the body does to the chemicals in this course. It targets:
- Environmental health science students interested in chemical tissue dosimetry, internal exposure, interpretation of biomarkers of exposures, in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) of chemical dosimetry
- Pharmacology/toxicology students interested in quantitative simulation of tissue- specific drug dosimetry beyond classical, compartmental PK.
- Students and researchers in biosciences, nutritional science, anesthesiology, biomedical engineering, and chemical engineering interested in computational approaches to predicting tissue concentrations of environmental, industrial, dietary, and pharmaceutical chemicals.

BSHE 760R, Spring 2021 Course Announcement
Category : Academic Student Opportunities
Description
The TADA Training program is excited to announce the creation of a new Spring course for graduate students, dedicated to teaching theories, methods, and ethics of analyzing “big data” (specifically administrative, geospatial, and social network data) to study and intervene in drug-related harms, like substance use disorders, overdoses, HIV, and hepatitis C. The course is part of Emory’s new TADA pre-doctoral program (see here for more information: sph.emory.edu/spark/tada) though it is open to all who meet requirements.

Social EPI Course Survey
Category : Academic Student Opportunities
Description
Dr. Gazmararian’s Social Epidemiology class is asking RSPH students to take this brief survey about race and discrimination. The survey, which should take less than 10 minutes to complete, is voluntary and anonymous, and the results will only be used for our class assignment (not for publication).
Please be sure that you are only filling the survey out once, even if you have seen this posting on multiple platforms. Thank you in advance for your participation!
