| Master Program of Analytical Toxicology |
| | This course covers contaminants of the water, soil, air, food additive and preservatives as well as
radiation pollution. It will cover sources and cycle of these toxins, mechanism of actions and their
effects as well as their detection in different media. Also this course explore the update principles of natural products toxins from plant, animals and micro-organism and research methods for their identification and their application to the practice of toxicology. It will develop and integrate a
systematic theoretical and practical approach toward problem solving | Master program of Analytical Toxicology |
| | The student will utilize literature and prior knowledge to solve a problem the field of toxicology
with the direction of the supervisor, where the student will design, examine, and apply it
practically. The student will present the work in a form of a dissertation. It includes rationale of
method development or modification of an existing method in analytical toxicology or
experimental animal toxicity study, where such need may arise | Master program of Analytical Toxicology |
| | This course includes practical training in routine toxicology laboratory. Where the student will work in sample preparation and their analysis in different methods and instruments to reach identity and quantification the poison to help in problem solving and interprets the results of analysis | Master program of Analytical Toxicology |
