AcademicseditBirminghamSoutherns new Explorations curriculum moves general education away from a more traditional, check box approachwhich emphasizes disciplinary requirementsto one that stresses the importance of what students learn to do. This new pedagogy of doing is illustrated by requirements that guide students in learning how to communicate effectively, solve complex problems in creative ways, connect their coursework to the wider world, engage with their social and political world, and engage in self directed teaching and learning. These are precisely the skills and perspectives that professional schools, graduate schools, and employers are seeking in todays increasingly complex and inter connected world. Courses of StudyeditThe college currently offers five bachelors degrees in more than 5. January Exploration TermeditThe colleges January Exploration Term allows students to explore one topic through an intensive period of experiential learning. The January Term enhances liberal arts education through hands on practical experience and in depth, personal knowledge. Students may choose from on and off campus projects, independent study or research, group and individual study travel experiences, and challenging internships. Special programseditDonald C. Harrison Honors Program Designed to engage students intellectual curiosity, enhance their oral and written communications skills, and further develop their ability to think and study independently, the Donald C. Harrison Honors Program centers on small, interdisciplinary seminars developed specifically for Harrison Honors students. Contract Learning Under the guidance of a faculty member, students can contract a class, internship, or other learning experience to fit their interests. Students also have the option of contracting an individualized major, such as Human Rights in the Americas.

AM to 9 2. 0 AMView this Plenary Presentation  Systems Approaches to Drug Efficacy and Toxicity in an Era of Big Data. Lecturer Peter Sorger, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. The development of new therapeutic drugs is fundamental to improving human health, but the process is challenged by rising costs and a high rate of failure. New and better technology and big data are often put forward as the solutions to these problems. However, I will discuss laboratory and clinical studies showing that some of the fundamental concepts in pharmacology and toxicology are ripe for reinvention. Increasing data on the impact of cell to cell variability and temporal variation in cellular physiology motivates new ways of thinking about seemingly simple concepts such as drug dose response. Better understanding of sources of variation in laboratory and clinical data should also improve our ability to identify robust biomarkers of therapeutic and adverse effects. I will argue that big data and data science are essential but insufficient correct interpretation of empirical data in biomedicine hinges on theories about mechanism. I will discuss these theories, with reference to cytotoxic and targeted anti cancer therapies, and studies of drug response in cell culture, animal models, and human clinical trials. New pharmacological principles derived from such studies are being developed into practical algorithms and open source software as a means to improve target qualification, lead molecule optimization, and early phase clinical trials. The hoped for outcome better drugs at a cost society can afford. Open Ecosystems for Understanding Toxicities and Adverse Events. Lecturer Lara Mangravite, Sage Bionetworks, Seattle, WA. The presentation will address the use of collaborative approaches for the gathering, sharing and interpretation of health data. This will include the use of remote sensor based data collection approaches to capture fluctuations in health relative to medication and diseaseand the consideration of how these could be used to track adverse events. Merit Award Lecture. Monday, March 1. 3, 1. PM to 1 2. 0 PMCell Proliferation and Carcinogenesis Bad Luck and the Environment. Lecturer Samuel M. Orange Oracle Keygen Photoshop. Cohen, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE. Cancer develops because of multiple permanent genetic errors arising in a single stem cell, a clonal disease. Every time DNA replicates, spontaneous mistakes can occur. Thus, the risk of cancer can be increased by either directly damaging DNA each time it replicates DNA reactive or increasing the number of DNA replications cell proliferation, or both. Some have indicated that the spontaneous errors that occur during DNA replication are the basis for cancer being due to bad luck, and are the cause of most cancers. However, it is well known that numerous environmental factors can increase the risk of cancer. This dilemma is readily resolved by realizing that the number of stem cells and the rate of their proliferation can be markedly influenced by the environment. Over the course of more than a 5. I have been actively involved in research on DNA reactive carcinogens nitrofurans, aromatic amines, nitrosamines and non DNA reactive carcinogens saccharin, PPAR agonists, arsenicals, others. Based on the fundamentals of carcinogenesis, a mode of action MOA approach, and the accumulated knowledge of carcinogenesis in animals and humans, carcinogenic risk can be readily evaluated today without utilizing the two year bioassay.

SOTEUROTOX Debate. Monday, March 1. 3, 4 4. PM to 6 0. 0 PMToxicology Testing of Drug Combinations Does Not Add Significant Value to Human Risk Evaluation Beyond What Is Known for the Individual Agents. Chairpersons Leigh Ann Burns Naas, Gilead Sciences Inc., Foster City, CA and Heather Wallace, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom. SOT Debater Kenneth L. Hastings, Hastings Toxicology Consulting LLC, Mount Airy, MD. EUROTOX Debater Phil Bentley, Toxicodynamix International LLC, Hendersonville, NC, and Basel, Switzerland. Endorsers Society of Toxicology SOTEuropean Societies of Toxicology EUROTOXEach year the SOT Annual Meeting includes a debate that continues a tradition that originated in the early 1. This year, our debaters will address the proposition Toxicology Testing of Drug Combinations Does Not Add Significant Value to Human Risk Evaluation Beyond What is Known for the Individual Agents. The use of innovative drug combinationsboth large and small moleculein clinical development is increasing. The objective is often to increase efficacy by targeting multiple pathways for the same disease, to improve safety by being able to lower doses of one or more drugs, or to provide more convenientacceptable therapies to patients. As the number of these clinical combinations rises, there is an increasing need to evaluate their nonclinical safety. At the heart of this evaluation is the question regarding the need for actual animal testing. Global regulatory guidance has provided a framework for the nonclinical safety evaluation of combination products, which considers the need for testing based on such things as the potential for PK or PD interactions, overlapping toxicology profiles, extent of toxicology characterization of the individual agents and their margins of safety, human clinical experience with the individual agents, and the stage of clinical development of each agent. The guidance applies not only to fixed dose combinations but co packaged and co use as well. Unless there is clinical experience with the combination and that combination involves two late stage Phase 3, Marketed entities, nonclinical repeat dose toxicity studies up to 9. This broad recommendation is inconsistent with the principles of the 3. Rs for reduction, refinement, and replacement in animal experimentation. Conversely, the potential for unexpected safety events with novel, targeted therapies is a clear clinical concern. The debaters will discuss the evidence regarding whether the information gathered in nonclinical combination studies provides clear benefit in the overall risk evaluation for clinical combinations. Regardless of framework differences and personal convictions, each scientific debate delegate will present relevant evidence and compelling scientific arguments to persuade and appeal to the audience in order to obtain the approval or rejection of the motion. In addition to being a featured session at the SOT Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, this debate will again take place with the debaters taking the reverse positions in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, during the 5.
