Expertise among the PhASR personnel includes quantitative pharmacology; bioanalytical methodology, design of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies in animal disease models and in humans enrolled in clinical trials; data analysis and modeling of PK/PD data to inform drug development decisions. The PhASR personnel are available for consultation on clinical or pre-clinical PK/PD experimental design and analysis.

Key program objectives

PhASR’s Specific Aims are to:

  • Aim 1: Develop and update and validate new assays to quantify drugs, metabolites, endogenous biomolecules/biomarkers, environmental carcinogens, nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals in biospecimens, as well as environmental and food sources.
  • Aim 2: Apply validated assays to quantify drug and metabolite concentrations in biological matrices and conduct PK/PD studies for incorporation into preclinical and clinical studies to support evidence-based decision-making.
  • Aim 3: Provide expertise in targeted nutritional lipidomics to support studies of foods and dietary patterns in preclinical, clinical and epidemiologic studies.
  • Aim 4: Provide expertise in study design, biosample procurement and processing, and data analysis and interpretation to support submission of clinical trial protocols, grant applications and publications.
