Dissolution Imaging Symposium 2013
Hosted at the University of Bath: June 3 - 4, 2013Research
The department has a long-standing and internationally recognised reputation for high-quality research in the pharmaceutical and pharmacological sciences, spanning the drug development process from target identification and drug design, synthesis and structural optimisation, through drug formulation and delivery, to pharmacovigilance, adherence and drug use. Thematic foci within these major areas of interest encompass research in immunology, infection and inflammation; cardiovascular disease; neuropharmacology; medicinal chemistry of anti-cancer, antiviral and opioid drugs; oral, pulmonary and topical/transdermal drug delivery; formulation of biopharmaceuticals (including proteins, nucleic acids and antibodies); stem cell biology and tissue engineering; and pharmacoepidemiology, drug use, and health psychology.
