New autonomous lab at University of Toronto to improve drug formulation
A new autonomous lab being built in the University of Toronto's Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy will help to design and optimize formulations that will improve bioavailability, stability and efficacy of a variety of drugs.
Christine Allen, a professor in the faculty whose research focuses on drug development and disease diagnostics, is co-leading the lab with Frank Gu, a professor in the department of chemical engineering and applied chemistry in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering.
U of T scientists use AI to fast-track drug formulation development
In a bid to reduce the time and cost associated with developing promising new medicines, U of T scientists have successfully tested the use of artificial intelligence to guide the design of long-acting injectable drug formulations. The study was led by Profs. Christine Allen and Alán Aspuru-Guzik.
Indigenous Research Network deepens and extends Indigenous research at U of T and beyond
The newly launched Indigenous Research Network (IRN) will make it easier to find information and share resources – for students, established researchers, partners and communities. The IRN is the culmination of two years of careful consultation.
