The lab studies drug therapy grounded in clinical settings.
AboutAbout the lab
Making drug therapy more effective and safer
The lab studies clinical pharmacology, which aims to maximize the effectiveness and safety of drug therapy.
In cooperation with Osaka University Hospital, it works on research toward safe and effective pharmacotherapy.
In addition to research, students take programs such as long-term ward training at the hospital and training in pharmaceutical administration at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and other organizations.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Clinical Pharmacology" field.
Key terms
- Clinical pharmacology
- The science that studies the actions and kinetics of drugs in the human body in order to establish rational drug therapy. It is grounded in clinical settings.
- Pharmacokinetics
- How a drug moves within the body. Also called PK.
- Genetic polymorphism
- Differences in gene sequences between people. Their relationship to drug response and side effects is studied.
ResearchResearch themes
Drug therapy contributes greatly to medicine, but drugs with strong effects generally also have stronger side effects. The lab aims to realize rational drug therapy through both clinical research in which many patients participate and studies of how drugs move and act in the body.
*Illustrative imageResearch to make cancer drug therapy appropriate
The lab aims to clarify how side effects specific to anticancer drugs arise and to develop methods to predict and prevent them. For drugs that stop working after continued use, it uses molecular biology to clarify how their effects change and searches for indicators that can predict this.
*Illustrative imageDrug response seen through genes
There are high expectations for personalized medicine, which provides optimal care for each patient. The lab examines how genetic polymorphisms in genes involved in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics relate to the effects and side effects of drugs.
