The mission of the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Analytical Laboratory is to provide quality bioanalytical service, to quantify the active drug and/or its metabolite(s) in different biological matrices according to FDA Guidance so as to conduct pharmacokinetic studies in support of local and regional drug development efforts. An established laboratory, the PK/PD Analytical Laboratory has the capability to analyze single-entity drugs in body fluids and tissue samples, and to develop novel methodology/technology platforms for PK/PD studies from interventions involving both monochemical lead compounds and polychemical entities such as herbal products.

The laboratory has a number of expert chemists who use a range of gas and liquid chromatographic mass spectrometers for drug analysis. Our services include:

• Clinical pharmacokinetic/bioavailability studies
• Bioequivalence studies
• Therapeutic drug monitoring studies
• Initial non-clinical PK and toxicokinetic studies
• Other drug transport distribution studies
• Pharmaceutical analysis
