Research theme

Biopharmaceutics follows these research projects.

  1. In vivo kinetics control mechanism of HSA and clinical application of the rHSA.
  2. Elucidation of the biological function and pharmaceutical analysis of AGP.
  3. Molecular mechanisms affecting pharmacokinetics in disease states.
  4. Structure, function and expression of drug-metabolizing enzyme.

From these research projects, our final goal is to elucidate pharmacokinetics of the drug and to develop DDS.
