In the Laboratory of Drug Quality and Registration (DruQuaR) fundamental and applied research is carried out in the fields of pharmaceutical analytics and regulatory affairs.

Our general research goal is studying the functional quality of pharmaceuticals. Emphasis is placed on the following, more specific topics:

• Oligo/poly-(peptide)(nucleotide)(saccharide) drugs
• Transmembrane (skin, BBB, mucosa) drug characterisation
• Surface behaviour of pharmaceuticals (adsorption and interaction phenomena)
• Sample preparation and analytics for new API and FDP (paediatric, polymeric, ... drug formulations)
• Impurity profiling techniques
• Biomedical relevance of pharmaceutical quality

Under the guidance of several research fellows (PhD), students (MSc) and lab technicians are working on the different research projects.

Approximately 15 people are currently working at DruQuaR under the global supervision of Prof. Dr. Bart De Spiegeleer.
