Akita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops drug delivery systems (DDS) to deliver drugs to the lungs and the brain.
AboutAbout the lab
Building drug delivery routes to the lungs and the brain
The Akita Lab studies the construction of DDS that efficiently deliver drugs to the alveoli, with the aim of treating intractable lung diseases.
The lab is also developing a Nose-to-Brain system that makes use of neural circuits.
Its research field is physical pharmacy, and the listed topics are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), inhaled formulations and device design, and central nervous system delivery technology.
The lab is introduced as a lab of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Life Sciences and Drug Discovery at the undergraduate level, and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the graduate level.
Key terms
- DDS
- Technologies and mechanisms for efficiently delivering a drug to the place in the body where it is needed. Short for drug delivery system
- Nose-to-Brain
- A name for the route by which a drug is delivered from the nose to the brain. The lab is developing it as a system that makes use of neural circuits
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- A lung disease also called COPD. It is listed as one of the lab's research fields
