FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH AND TOPICS/HIGHLIGHTS
The scope of our research group encompasses a broad spectrum of disciplines within the pharmaceutical sciences. Specifically, our research is focused in the fields of clinical pharmacy, pharmacy education, evidence-based pharmacy, dermatocosmetology, analytics, and the medicinal biochemistry. Within the framework of laboratory investigations, we employ the following methodologies: spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, and chromatography. Furthermore, we have devised in vivo models of cutaneous impairment, which serve as foundational instruments for evaluating the efficacy and safety of topical preparations in human subjects.

Connected research group: Fundamental and applied research in pharmacy
 

We anticipate further development of human in vivo models of skin damage and enhanced collaboration with the cosmetic industry to help them assess the efficacy and safety of their products. Our objective is to refine investigative techniques to contribute to the advancement of safer and more effective cosmetic formulations. In the realm of clinical pharmacy, we specifically aim to concentrate our research efforts within the domain of public pharmacies. Our plan includes expanding our investigations to gain a deeper understanding of the pharmacist's role within the community and to enhance the approach to pharmaceutical care at the level of local communities. We aspire to develop innovative strategies that will improve the provision of pharmaceutical services in public pharmacies, thereby exerting a positive impact on patients and the broader community."
