Future Pharmaceutics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab develops technology that targets diseased blood vessels to deliver nucleic acid therapeutics.

AboutAbout the lab
Bringing nanomedicine to the clinic by targeting blood vessels.
The Future Pharmaceutics Lab studies new drug delivery systems (DDS) that target the blood vessels in diseased areas to deliver drugs.
It works on technology that targets diseased blood vessels in cancer, fat, and the brain to deliver next-generation nucleic acid therapeutics.
The lab collaborates closely with the Drug Molecular Design Lab, and also works with the Faculty of Dental Medicine, the Faculty of Engineering, and Hokkaido University Hospital.
Students in this lab conduct their research while enrolled in the Drug Molecular Design Lab.
Key terms
- Drug delivery system
- Technology that delivers a drug to the needed site in the body, in the needed amount
- Nucleic acid therapeutics
- A drug made of the same building blocks as DNA and RNA. It can directly regulate gene function
- Diseased blood vessel
- A blood vessel with properties different from normal that forms in diseased areas such as cancer
ResearchResearch themes
Blood vessels are the lifeline that supplies nutrients and oxygen to organs throughout the body, and they are involved in the progression of many diseases. The lab aims to develop next-generation DDS that attack diseased blood vessels directly, or pass through blood vessels to selectively deliver drugs to cells in the tissue.
