Pharmaceutics Discipline

Studies in Pharmaceutics have focused on two broad areas. Advanced Drug Delivery explores the most effective means of delivering drugs to their intended sites. The Faculty has a particular expertise in the study of microparticles and aerosol dynamics for potential nasal, pulmonary and oral delivery of drugs. Understanding and responding to individual variations in drug actions includes pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, and seeks to identify mechanisms at the cellular level that can account for individual differences in drug reactions.
