Research area
The research area of Drug Innovation
is best described by the
multidisciplinary collaboration of
chemists, biologists, pharmacists, and
biomedical and clinical scientists, in
order to translate scientific
hypotheses to products for care, cure
and prevention of diseases. We want
to perform ground breaking,
exploratory research in areas, which
are the supports of drug innovation:
disease targets, bio-active molecules,
drug targeting and action and
evaluation. This will ultimately lead to the molecules, methods, concepts and approaches, which
are so indispensable for the successful outcome of drug development in the pharmaceutical
industry and medicines used in society.
Almost all PhD candidates are working in one of the research groups of the Utrecht Institute for
Pharmaceutical Sciences (UIPS). The UIPS consists of 5 groups studying medicines, but with a
different focus. The Pharmaco-Epidemiology and Clinical Pharmacology group focuses on
patients and is our bridge to society, clinicians and patients. The Pharmaceutics group focuses on
the targeted delivery of active molecules, like drugs, proteins and genes. The Medicinal
Chemistry & Chemical Biology and Biomolecular Analysis group focuses on synthesising and
analysing bioactive and bio inspired molecules. The Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and
Proteomics group focuses on protein
expression in (stem) cells. The Pharmacology
group focuses on models for CNS and
immune disorders, using drugs and medical
nutrition. All groups offer courses in the
training programme.
