Medical Pharmacy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores drug safety and neuropsychiatric disorders starting from clinical practice.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating drug safety and the brain, starting from clinical problems
The Medical Pharmacy Lab conducts pharmaceutical research that responds to the needs of clinical practice. Its professor and associate professor also serve as the director and deputy director of the hospital's Department of Pharmacy.
By measuring blood drug concentrations, analyzing pharmacokinetics, and searching for risk factors for side effects, the lab aims for safer and more effective drug therapy.
The lab also uses mouse models to investigate the disease mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer-type dementia, and to search for targets for drug discovery.
In addition to its graduate students, the lab provides research supervision to master's students from pharmacy faculties at other universities, hospital and community pharmacists, and employees of pharmaceutical companies.
Key terms
- Pharmacokinetics
- The movement of a drug through the body at each stage: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion
- Blood drug concentration
- The concentration of a drug in the blood. It is measured and used for pharmacokinetic analysis
- Mouse model
- A mouse made to mimic a particular disease. It is used to elucidate disease mechanisms and to search for drug discovery targets
ResearchResearch themes
The lab is built on two pillars: research to improve the safety of drug therapy, and research on the disease mechanisms of psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and on drug discovery. It pursues problems encountered in clinical practice from a pharmaceutical perspective, aiming to produce results that can be used in the clinical setting.
*Illustrative imageImproving the Safety of Drug Therapy
The lab searches for risk factors for drug side effects, aiming to reduce their severity through symptom monitoring and dose adjustment. It analyzes pharmacokinetics from blood drug concentrations, and also conducts research that evaluates pharmacist services and collaboration among healthcare professions.
*Illustrative imageElucidating the Disease Mechanisms of Psychiatric and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Using mouse models of schizophrenia, Alzheimer-type dementia, and other disorders, the lab works to elucidate disease mechanisms and to search for molecules that could serve as drug discovery targets. It also studies the neural basis of motivation, drive, and decision-making.
