Promotie onderzoek

Naast het genotype zijn er andere factoren die van invloed zijn op de absorptie, distributie, metabolisme en excretie van medicijnen. Deze invloeden kunnen resulteren in een mismatch tussen fenotype en genotype. Het is dus belangrijk dat wij genotype kunnen suplementeren met een minimaal invasieve vorm van fenotypering. Doormiddel van cel representatieve Extracellulaire blaasjes in het bloed willen wij de expressie van pharmacogenen bepalen om personalized medicine te bevorderen  

Hospital expenditure of expensive drugs increases yearly. In addition, shortages are becoming more common. To assure access to healthcare and treatment in the future, sustainable use of expensive drugs is very important. This research aims to optimize treatment with regard to efficacy and safety, while aiming to reduce drug costs. 
 

The aim of this project is to achieve more effective patient treatments with antibiotics by quantifying the concentrations at the site of infection with minimal sample volumes. To enable quantification of antibiotics at the site of infection, multiple assays should be developed and validated in these infected matrices, such as synovial fluid, synovial tissue, bone, and vitreous humor. Furthermore, the focus will be on small-volume samples and more patient friendly, and sustainable sample preparations.
 

A prospective observational PK/PD to study the target attainment for β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill pediatric patients and associated risk factors.
 

This thesis explores how systemic inflammation and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) influence drug pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients. Key research questions include: How does inflammation alter midazolam metabolism in critically ill COVID-19 patients? What impact does CRRT have on the drug CL and efficacy of commonly administered drugs at the ICU? The findings aim to optimize therapeutic approaches in critically ill patients.
 

Aim is to investigate the occurence and prevention of anti-cancer treatment, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors. 
 

We aim to explore the implementation and delivery process of interprofessional education focused on medication safety catered students of nursing, pharmacy and medicine across three European countries.
