| Course ID: | EHSC(EPID) 8250. 3 hours. | | Course Title: | Biomarkers: Public Health, Clinical, and Environmental Toxicology Applications | Course
Description: | Biomarkers in clinical practice, and in public and
environmental health. Biomarkers of disease, exposure to
chemicals or pathogens, and adverse insults on humans play an
important role in Environmental Health Science, Epidemiology,
and Toxicology. | | Oasis Title: | BIOMARKERS | | Prerequisite: | EPID 7010 or EHSC 7060 or EHSC 4490/6490 | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered fall semester every odd-numbered year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | Course Objectives: | This course is intended for graduate students at any level with
an interest in Biomarkers. Students should be able to:
•Interpret Biomarkers and understand their strengths and
weaknesses.
•Critically evaluate the use of biomarkers in the clinic,
workplace or environment.
•Offer informed recommendations about biomarkers to public
health officials. | | Topical Outline: | •Introduction to Biomarkers
•Introduction to Analytical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and
Toxicology
•Quantitative Tools for Biomarkers
•Clinical Biomarkers
•Epidemiological Biomarkers
•Environmental Biomarkers
•Metabolic Susceptibility and Polymorphisms
•Adducts and Mutations
•Cancer and Non-Cancer Biomarkers
•Biomonitoring
•Societal Concerns | | Honor Code Reference: | The UGA Student Honor Code states: “I will be academically
honest in all of my academic work and will not tolerate
academic dishonesty of others.” A Culture of Honesty, the
University's policy and procedures for handling cases of
