Clinical Pharmaceutics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab for patient-centered clinical pharmaceutics, studying how to use medicines safely and correctly.
AboutAbout the lab
Healthcare, at its core, for the benefit of patients.
The Clinical Pharmaceutics Lab studies how medicines can be used safely.
The lab investigates ways to avoid side effects of medicines, as well as interactions between drugs and between drugs and food components.
Its ultimate goal is to deliver information on medicines and healthcare so that all patients can receive equally high-quality medical care.
Key terms
- Interaction
- A change in how well a drug works or how side effects appear when multiple drugs or foods are taken together
- Transporter
- A protein in the cell membrane that carries substances such as drugs and nutrients into and out of cells
- Pharmacokinetics
- The movement of a drug after it enters the body: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion

ResearchResearch themes
The lab approaches its research from a patient-centered view of healthcare: not only how to make a drug work well, but also how to use it safely. It places importance on linking basic research on how drugs behave in the body with clinical research in medical settings.
*Illustrative imageTransporters and drug interactions
Taking absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and passage across the placenta as examples of drug movement involving transporters in the cell membrane, the lab analyzes interactions between drugs and transporters that affect treatment.
*Illustrative imageChanges in disease state and drug pharmacokinetics
The lab examines how damage to the small intestine when blood flow stops and then resumes (ischemia-reperfusion) changes the absorption of substances. It also studies the relationship between hormones whose levels change during pregnancy and the function of placental transporters.
*Illustrative imageOptimization of drug therapy
By linking clinical research with basic laboratory research on pharmacokinetics, the lab aims for evidence-based drug therapy. It evaluates current medical practice scientifically and applies the results to standardizing treatments and drug therapy.
