PROGRAM NAME: PHARMACEUTICAL TOXICOLOGY

Duration: 2 years
Language: English
Program Description: The program focuses on hazardous effects of drugs and chemical
substances in environment beneath the knowledge of their toxic kinetic and toxic dynamic
effects in organisms. The definition of toxicology is “Science examining the interactions
between xenobiotic and biological systems dealing with the health effects” or “Science
obtaining the innoxiousness limits of the chemicals”. On the other hand, as there are many
subtopics of toxicology such as descriptive toxicology, clinical toxicology, environmental
toxicology, industrial toxicology, forensic toxicology, ecotoxicology and analytical toxicology
it will be more useful to make a definition related with the areas of these subtopics. The truth
is that, every chemical shows its toxic effects related to its dose so this fact makes the area of
toxicology wider day-by-day involving drugs, cosmetics, food additives, pesticides,
household products and industrial chemicals. Graduates enhance their toxicology knowledge
about toxicology basics, mechanisms and practices. They assess and use the original
information and technologies in the field of toxicology. They make contact between
toxicology and the other disciplines such as pharmacology, biochemistry, genetics, biophysics
and forensic science, which are collaborator sciences of toxicology.

PhD graduates may occupate positions for duties such as researcher and/or lecturer at our
University's Center of Excellence, researcher/lecturer at other universities in our country, or
manufacturing personnel at public or private cell and tissue establishments.
Such as the case worldwide, implementation and legislative studies related to stem cells and
regenerative medicine are rapidly evolving in our country. However, even if national
legislation stipulates so, expertise programs specifically designed for training in cell and
tissue banking, cell-based product manufacturing procedures, and donation and
transplantation ethics do not exist yet in Turkey. The proposed PhD program promises
researchers who shall be raised for the potential contribution to the clinical and industrial
development of stem cells and relevant other cell resources and regenerative medicine which
will manifest products manufactured from donated human tissues to treat various chronic
and life-threatening diseases. This PhD program is planned to fill in this substantial gap. Stem
cells and regenerative medicine are an intact area. Due to this, this subject is not a specific
agenda in any PhD programs in our University or other educational associations in Turkey.
