Clinical Pharmacology Lab (Medical and Hygienic Pharmaceutical Sciences)
Machine-translated · View original
A clinical pharmacology lab that studies how drugs work and cause adverse effects, from the perspective of clinical practice.
AboutAbout the lab
Improving the efficacy and safety of drugs, from the clinical setting.
The Clinical Pharmacology Lab studies clinical pharmacology, which aims to maximize the efficacy and safety of drug therapy.
Clinical pharmacology is a discipline grounded in the clinical settings where drug therapy is delivered, and the lab conducts its research in collaboration with Osaka University Hospital.
In addition to research, students take PharmD course programs, including long-term ward training at Osaka University Hospital and training at the front lines of pharmaceutical regulatory administration.
Graduates work in a variety of roles, including drug development at pharmaceutical companies, pharmacists at hospitals and pharmacies, and pharmaceutical regulatory administration.
Key terms
- Clinical pharmacology
- The discipline that studies how drugs act and move in the human body, in order to establish rational drug therapy.
- PharmD
- A course first established in Japan by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Osaka University. In addition to research, students receive hospital training and training in pharmaceutical regulatory administration.
- Genetic polymorphism
- Differences in gene sequences between individuals. Their relationship to drug response and adverse effects is studied.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to maximize the efficacy and safety of drug therapy, and conducts research in collaboration with Osaka University Hospital. The lab believes that realizing rational pharmacotherapy requires clinical studies involving many patients, as well as studies investigating how drugs behave in the body and their detailed actions.
*Illustrative imageOptimizing drug therapy for cancer
The lab studies the mechanisms behind adverse effects specific to anticancer drugs, aiming to develop methods to predict and prevent their onset. For drugs that stop working with continued administration, the lab elucidates at the molecular biology level how their effects change, and searches for indicators to predict drug response.
Gene-based clinical pharmacogenomics
As human genome analysis advances, expectations are rising for personalized medicine that provides optimal care to each patient. The lab examines the relationship between clinical parameters, including genetic polymorphisms in genes involved in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and clinical effects and adverse effects.
