Project description
Animal-free alternatives for drug development
The demand for oral drug products is high. This poses a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry, since most drugs coming through the pharma pipeline are too poorly soluble to be efficiently absorbed from the digestive tract. To keep the pharma industry in Europe competitive, scientists must find ways to formulate poorly soluble drugs for oral use more efficiently. However, they must also adhere to Europe’s commitment to reduce the use of animals in research. With this in mind, the EU-funded InPharma project will strive towards animal-free methods to develop and test effective new oral formulations. Thirteen early-stage researchers will receive intersectoral training to acquire the professional skills necessary to revolutionise oral medication in Europe. The research will focus on harnessing computational pharmaceutics, biorelevant laboratory tests and advanced pharmacokinetic modelling.
