Research facilities + infrastructure

The Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences utilizes a variety of research facilities and infrastructure designed to bridge the gap between industry and academia to unlock the pharmaceutical treatments of tomorrow. These resources engage researchers and students in real-world projects while supporting the development of innovations through translational research, effectively addressing drug-development needs.

Facilities

Our research in drug discovery and development focuses on enhancing drug efficacy and safety through studying molecular interactions, designing improved compounds, and creating innovative delivery systems for small molecules, peptides, and proteins. We use translational human disease models to analyze drug action, disposition, metabolism and toxicity, developing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models to predict in vivo behaviour and optimize dosing. Preclinical testing is performed in-house with advanced analytical and imaging techniques.
