An industry-academia joint lab where Nagoya University and Raqualia Pharma work to create new drugs.
AboutAbout the lab
Driving drug discovery research across the boundary between industry and academia
The Raqualia Pharma Industry-Academia Collaborative Lab is a joint research lab run by Nagoya University and Raqualia Pharma Inc.
Through industry-academia collaboration, its mission is to create new drugs from the Chubu region.
It consists of the Pharmacological Efficacy Analysis Division, the Translational Research Division, and the New Drug Creation Science Division, and is housed within the Research Institute of Environmental Medicine.
Each division also functions as a research team with the Graduate School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the lab describes itself as the link that ties these three units together in advancing drug discovery research.

*Illustrative imageBuilding Efficacy Evaluation Systems and Selecting Compounds
The lab builds assay systems to evaluate how well drugs work and screens compounds. During compound optimization, it carries out compound profiling.
*Illustrative imageValidating Drug Targets and Nonclinical Evaluation
The lab validates the suitability of drug target molecules for treating human diseases. At the nonclinical stage, it evaluates pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and safety.
*Illustrative imageDesign and Synthesis of Drug Candidate Compounds
The lab studies the design of drug candidate compounds and the techniques used to synthesize them. It also works on pharmaceutical science and analytical chemistry.
