AboutAbout the lab
Solving clinical problems through drug research
The Mano Lab is a clinical pharmaceutical sciences lab that picks out the various problems faced in clinical practice and aims to elucidate them.
Alongside elucidation, it also aims to build new pharmaceutical evidence and feed it back to clinical practice.
The lab develops optimal dosing design methods that take into account the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and side effects of drugs.
It also conducts research on the appropriate use of drugs using large-scale healthcare databases (so-called healthcare big data).
Key terms
- Pharmacokinetics
- The process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body
- Healthcare big data
- A common name for large-scale healthcare databases. This lab uses them in research on the appropriate use of drugs
- Frailty
- A state in which the mind and body have weakened with aging; also referred to as weakness (kyojaku)
ResearchResearch themes
The lab picks out problems faced in clinical practice and aims to feed back to clinical practice by elucidating them and building new pharmaceutical evidence. It works on dosing design that considers pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and side effects, and on research on appropriate drug use with healthcare big data.
