Drug repurposing involves investigating new uses for approved drugs.
We identify a clinical problem with an urgent need, such as treatment-resistant ovarian and brain cancers, and develop a suite of potential therapies for clinical use.
Medicines research includes all areas of research that develop or improve the use of new, old and approved drugs, including alternative medicines such as cannabis.
We take innovative approaches to rapidly repurposing drugs for populations that urgently need better treatments, therapeutic drug monitoring to ensure patients receive the correct dose (e.g. chemotherapy dosing) and translating our research into practice through clinical trials and policy.
This covers the entire translational spectrum – from discovery lab-based research through clinical trials to clinical use and policy development.
