Hospital Pharmacy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how drugs behave in the body, aiming for drug therapy tailored to each individual patient.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing drug use for each individual.
The Hospital Pharmacy Lab belongs to the pharmacy department of Osaka University Hospital and conducts research that provides a scientific basis for drug therapy.
Through establishing methods for designing drug dosing and creating high-quality pharmaceuticals, the lab aims for precision medicine.
The lab investigates the pharmacokinetics of drugs and the factors that cause variation in their effects and side effects, and works on developing individualized dosing design methods that use biomarkers.
Pharmacists engaged in practical work take part in the research alongside undergraduate and graduate students.
Key terms
- Precision medicine
- Medical care in which drugs and treatments are chosen and their use is determined according to the condition of each individual patient
- Pharmacokinetics
- How a drug, once taken or injected, is absorbed, transported, and eliminated within the body
- Biomarker
- An indicator in the body that serves as a clue for examining how well a drug works and how side effects appear
- Hospital-prepared formulation
- A drug that is prepared inside a hospital and used for patients
ResearchResearch themes
Medicines must be used appropriately according to each person's condition, and dosages cannot be set uniformly. This lab examines the pharmacokinetics of drugs and responses after administration, and works to optimize drug therapy, including the development of hospital-prepared formulations and the evaluation of pharmacy services.
