1. Physiologically Based Pharmacometric Models for Colistin and the Immune Response to Bacterial Infection
Sammanfattning : Antibiotic treatment failure might be due to bacterial resistance or suboptimal exposure at target site and there is a lack of knowledge on the interaction between antimicrobial pharmacodynamics (PD) and the immune response to bacterial infections. Therefore, it is crucial to develop tools to increase the understanding of drug disposition to better evaluate antibiotic candidates in drug development and to elucidate the role of the immune system in bacterial infections.

2. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling in risk assessment - Development of Bayesian population methods
Sammanfattning : In risk assessment of risk chemicals, variability in susceptibility in the population is an important aspect. The health hazard of a pollutant is related to the internal exposure to the chemical, i.e. the target dose, rather than the external exposure. LÄS MER
3. Biopharmaceutical investigations of doxorubicin formulations used in liver cancer treatment : Studies in healthy pigs and liver cancer patients, combined with pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutical modelling
Sammanfattning : There are currently two types of drug formulation in clinical use in the locoregional treatment of intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the emulsion LIPDOX, the cytostatic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is dissolved in the aqueous phase, which is emulsified with the oily contrast agent Lipiodol® (LIP). LÄS MER
4. Translational Tumor Drug Delivery : Doxorubicin formulation performance, intracellular uptake and molecular diffusion
Sammanfattning : Globally, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer and a leading cause of cancer death. One important risk factor is liver cirrhosis and the disease progression is characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix proteins that form a fibrous network, which increases liver stiffness and may limit the effectiveness of different treatment strategies.

5. Hepatic Disposition of Drugs and the Utility of Mechanistic Modelling and Simulation
Sammanfattning : The elimination of drugs from the body is in many cases performed by the liver. Much could be gained if an accurate prediction of this process could be made early in the development of new drugs. However, for the elimination to occur, the drug molecule needs first to get inside the liver cell. LÄS MER
