Snake venom is a complex and diverse mixture, exhibiting varied toxicological, pharmacological, and clinical properties. Venoms can be classified into neurotoxins, hemostatic toxins, necrotoxins, cardiotoxins, nephrotoxins, myotoxins, and others. Research on snake venom spans toxicology, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, antivenomics, and glycomics. By isolating and purifying specific venom proteins and applying molecular biology and structural chemistry, venom components are utilized in pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and antivenom production. Venom compounds have been used to treat diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain, and stroke, and show anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects. This course will cover envenomation cases, venom diversity, methods, achievements, and developments in venom research, along with applications of venom technology. Students will also engage with literature reviews and deliver oral presentations.
