Research in Department
Our research is highly interdisciplinary with a dynamic research profile, which spans from basic pharmacology and drug development, through drug delivery and formulation, to clinical trials and big data research, use of medicines by patients and safe medication practice. Our researchers work closely together towards the common goal of developing new medicines and formulations that can be evaluated in patients, improving health and quality of life.
