ABOUT US
The research philosophy of our laboratory is to contribute to developing oral formulations and solving clinical problems in oral drug therapy. Drugs, including candidates, often have several issues regarding stability, solubility, and permeability in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in poor oral absorption, which becomes a problem not only in drug development but also in clinics. To overcome these issues, we have been working on establishing new technologies, such as novel formulations, and developing an in vitro system to evaluate human oral absorption of drugs.
