Pharmaceutics
(Drug Delivery and Disposition)
Drug delivery, metabolism and drug disposition represent interdisciplinary specialties within the broad realm of the pharmaceutical sciences and encompass a range of scientific endeavors, including:
- The design, fabrication, evaluation, use of and delivery strategies for dosage forms
- Elucidation of the behavior of pharmacologic agents in biologic systems
- Determination of the ability of pharmacologic agents to reach the relevant site of biologic effect
- Determination of the time course of biologic activity. These areas of specialization represent critical steps in the development of new therapeutic agents, the evaluation of new and existing agents in a variety of settings (e.g., potential interactions with other agents, alterations secondary to physiologic changes associated with disease processes), and the optimal clinical use of pharmacologic agents
Pharmaceutics Core faculty include: Reza Fassihi, Ph.D., David Lebo, Ph.D., Swati Nagar, Ph.D., Kenneth Korzekwa, Ph.D., and Ho-Lun Wong, Ph.D.
The Current Good Manufacturing Practice Services Facility (cGMP) is a clinical supplies production and packaging facility.
