Drug Development Sciences

The drug development process includes and requires evaluation of safety and efficacy. The process begins long before a candidate drug is tested in patients and extends through the lifecycle of a drug long after it is available to patients in the market. Our scientists are expert along this full continuum and conduct research in:

• Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion characteristics and toxicity
• Drug safety
• Efficacy of a candidate drug through studies of its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties in patient populations
• Biomarker selection
• Clinical trial design and analysis
• Modeling
• Simulation
• Regulatory sciences needed to optimize the drug development process.
