Center for Translational Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenomics

The center is a collaborative group of pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics experts with the scientific and technical expertise, knowledge, and physical resources to conduct high-level translational research in these fields.

  • Pharmacokinetics: the study of the time course of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (i.e., disposition) of drugs in the body.
  • Pharmacodynamics: the study of the relationship between drug concentrations and drug response in the body.
  • Pharmacogenomics: the study of how genetic variation influences interindividual variability in drug disposition and response.
Academic and external investigators working in preclinical and clinical development of drugs and biologics, or conducting independent research, can contact Center members directly for opportunities to collaborate and develop appropriate strategies for integration of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics.
