Goals To give information about reproductive system toxicity and developmental toxicology and their mechanisms
Course Content Reproductive toxicity and developmental toxicology principles, mechanisms, samples of human events, data obtained from drugs and various chemicals
Learning Outcomes 1) He/She enhances his/her toxicology knowledge about toxicology basics, mechanisms and practices. He/She makes contact between toxicology and the other disciplines such as pharmacology, biochemistry, genetics, biophysics and forensic science which are collaborator sciences of toxicology.
2) He/She can solve the problems related with his/her field with research methods. He/She assesses and uses the original information and technologies in the field of toxicology. He/She performs in vivo or in vitro toxicological researches which investigate the detrimental effects of various factors to the organism.
3) She/He publishes scientific article in national and/or international peer-review about her/his field thereby she/he increases her/his knowledge.
4) She/He may study in toxicology field as a member of team. She/He follows up and comments about changes of legal regulations about the field and profession. "She/He follows professional and technological developments in toxicology and the related fields.
5) He/She creates functional interactions with relevant individuals and organizations by using strategic decision-making processes about the solutions of the problems related to the field of his/her
