Core Summary
We help researchers make informed decisions about the discovery, development, and refinement of therapeutics. Our facility maintains state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instruments and the technical expertise to design quantitative assays for drug-like compounds to aid lead optimization. We perform pre-clinical studies for investigators to answer key questions such as oral bioavailability, plasma protein binding, tissue biodistribution, and metabolite identification by doing quantitative LC-MS analysis of molecules and mass spectrometry imaging of spatial localization biomarkers in tissue section. We also support translation of exposure-response relationships in preclinical disease models to aid dose justification and drug repurposing considerations. Clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies that require bioanalysis, optimal sampling time determination, sample handling and storage, and data analysis (non-compartmental, compartmental, population-PK) are also supported.
