Bioanalytical Laboratory
Main categories: Drug discovery, Preclinical development
Pharmacokinetic assessments and documentation of drug exposure are essential elements of all drug discovery and development endeavours. This research project aims to provide a technology platform for joint projects with investigators working in various fields of drug discovery and development. An automated system enabling frequent blood sampling from freely moving small laboratory animals and modern analytic instrumentation based on liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry form the essential elements of this platform. Recent examples of the laboratory’s output are exemplified by the publications listed below, but a significant fraction of the laboratory’s projects represents contract research for small drug discovery companies. It is expected that this technology platform will help to promote both academic and commercial drug discovery and development activities in Finland.
Drug development and diagnostics is a common research profiling area of the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University funded by the Academy of Finland. This website is a part of this joint initiative bringing together all information that is related to drug discovery and development or diagnostics from both universities.
