Videos Introducing Keio Research
The educational target of our laboratory is to turn out researchers and pharmacists who have wide range of pharmaceutical view and knowledge, and is able to solve various clinical problems in pharmaceutical care. We consider that a good practitioner should be able to systematically organize a wide range of pharmaceutical knowledge and such ability can be acquired during pharmaceutical research.
Therefore, our research field is clinical pharmacy based on a variety of fields such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, cell biology, information technology, and others. Especially, we aim to solve clinical problems, as mentioned below, for marketed drugs to create pharmaceutical evidences for proper and effective use of medicines.
Study on drug metabolism and drug interactions to promote personalized pharmacotherapy.
Quantitative prediction and IVIVE (in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation) of drug interactions in drug absorption process.
In vivo PK/PD study for dosage optimization to reduce adverse reactions.
Optimization of pharmacotherapy by using the information technology and pharmacometrics
