The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) is a professional, nonprofit association of physicians with recognized expertise in medical toxicology, whose mission is to ensure that patients exposed to poisons and toxic substances receive optimal care.

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Brian Druker of HHMI and the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute. It describes the lessons learned from the clinical trials of imatinib. This will include examples of where imatinib has or has not worked, analysis of target...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Brian Druker of HHMI and the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute. It describes how although the majority of patients with CML respond well to imatinib, a minority of patients have relapsed. This part of the lecture will cover...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by J. Michael Bishop of the University of California, San Francisco. It presents a historical review of the experiments that resulted in the realization that cancer has a genetic basis. He explains that mutations can cause normal cellular genes...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by Brian Druker of HHMI and the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute. It describes the clinical features and the molecular pathogenesis of the disease for which imatinib was developed, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by J. Michael Bishop of the University of California, San Francisco. It presents experiments to find drugs that exploit vulnerabilities created by cancer genes, utilizing a genetic strategy known as "synthetic lethality." This video is the...

This 4-page learning activity, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), demonstrates how epidemics are spread and the importance of condom use for preventing the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The activity is intended for high school or community...

This lecture from the iBioSeminars project is presented by J. Michael Bishop of the University of California, San Francisco. It presents how the sequencing of cancer genomes will advance the study and management of cancer on various fronts, including the discovery of causes, the improvement of early...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students about gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Students will "learn the potential disease detection uses of GNPs, conduct research on modifying GNPs to be specific to other molecules, and complete a simulation using GNP...
