PhD Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

Our PhD/MPhil Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Our areas of research within pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences include:

development of novel nucleic acid-based diagnostics and therapeutics;
modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interactions and pharmacodynamics in healthy virtual populations;
modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interactions and pharmacodynamics in patient populations;
analysis of inter-individual variability in drug metabolizing enzyme activity;
optimal design of early phase clinical trials with new therapies and drug combinations;
applications of systems biology approach to prediction of drug absorption, distribution and Elimination;
extrapolation of in vitro data to predict in vivo pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics;
applications of PKPD in drug development and therapeutics, particularly endocrinology, drug abuse, and paediatric pharmacology.
