Laboratory introduction

Thank you for visiting our website.

　Drug development process and strategy have been changing drastically with the increasing development cost and the declining productivity in R&D as well as with the rapid advance in medical technology and the internationalization of drug development. In these situations, it is imperative to foster human resources who have a creative planning ability and play an active role in the front line of international new drug development.

　Our laboratory of Pharmaceutical Medicine has been conducting research on drug development strategy including clinical trial design and its evaluation, and post-marketing safety measures based on a broad range of natural science such as pharmaceutical sciences, medicine and biostatistics and also by applying knowledge and experience from the viewpoint of social science.

　Through these activities, we are aiming at training personnel to have knowledge and skill of analyzing issues to be tackled in the current drug development, and of proposing scientific and adaptable plans to address them.
