The work of our group is mainly focused on personalized medicine, including chemical-functional stability studies of drugs in individualized preparations to be administered both orally and parenterally, as well as parenteral nutrition; research focused on the evaluation and/or design of population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models and the characterization of the pharmacokinetics of certain drugs of therapeutic interest in the general population or in certain population groups; and research focused on pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics. Our research is also focused on advanced interventions: drug evaluation studies (effectiveness, safety and economic studies); and mobile health and telepharmacy.
Within the framework of a clinical trial, the first 3D printed medicine in Europe in the pediatric field will be tested.
