What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics, which involves studying how these drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body. The Pharmacometrics and Analytical Chemistry Core at UC San Diego will conduct precise measurements of antibiotics and their effects in various biological samples, including blood and breastmilk. By collaborating with clinical and basic science projects, the research aims to generate high-quality data that can inform better treatment strategies for patients. This work is particularly relevant for understanding how antibiotics function in different populations, including infants and breastfeeding mothers.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include patients receiving antibiotic treatments, particularly infants and breastfeeding mothers.
Not a fit: Patients who are not currently on antibiotics or do not have conditions requiring antibiotic treatment may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved antibiotic treatments and dosing strategies, enhancing patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in pharmacokinetic studies of antibiotics, indicating that this approach is well-established.
