Clinical Cancer Pharmacology Unit
Dr Simon Joel
This Unit conducts pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies of cytotoxic agents against a background of clinical trials. The aim is to develop and test new agents in the laboratory and in clinical trials and to optimise the way in which established chemotherapy drugs are used through a better understanding of their molecular and clinical pharmacology.
