Section of Pharmaceutical Design and Drug Delivery

Research in this section is focused on the design and development of drug delivery systems based on physiologically relevant in vitro models, to investigate the underlying physicochemical process in drug release and distribution and to understand the role of membrane transporters in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. This section is comprised of 3 groups.

Groups in this section

• Drug Transporters in ADME Group

  This group deals with the role of membrane transporters in Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) of drugs in the body.

• Pharmaceutical and Physical Chemistry Group

  Physicochemical approaches for the understanding of processes in drug delivery, e.g. parenteral depot design, profiling of drugs and biomarkers as well as analytical approaches for in vitro release testing.
  >>
  

• Rational Oral Drug Delivery (RODD) Group

  Based on physiologically relevant in vitro models for drug dissolution, solubilization and absorption, we develop oral delivery systems with the desired therapeutic profile.
  >>
  

• Solid State Pharmaceutics Group

  We develop drug delivery systems based on high-energy solids. The aims are improved stability of the formulations, and solubility enhancement of poorly water soluble drugs.
