Chapman University’s School of Pharmacy has opened its first center, which focuses on targeted drug delivery.
Centers at a university are areas of focused research; the pharmacy school plans several.
The targeted drug delivery research center joins about 50 similar groups in the U.S. It plans to conduct work on drug delivery, gene therapy and cancer biology. Primary researchers will focus on on anti-cancer and anti-viral drugs, and breast cancer, prostate cancer and melanoma.
The center will integrate expertise from other disciplines at Chapman and collaborate with other universities, such as University of California-Irvine, University of California-Los Angeles and University of California-San Diego, as well as the pharmaceutical industry.
The pharmacy school and the new center are located at Chapman’s campus in Irvine.
