Our research activities focus on injectable drugs, medical infusion devices and biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic modeling. Our objectives are to design, develop and evaluate healthcare technologies related to drug preparation and delivery. In particular, we develop devices for the automation of the preparation of injectable drugs, innovative medical devices for infusion as well as tools integrating augmented reality aiming at improving safety in the preparation of drugs. We also evaluate the stability of drugs and container/content interactions. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.
