Biography

Yuka Azuma Department of Pharmacokinetics, Kyoto University Kyoto, Japan Yuka Azuma is an accomplished researcher and faculty member in the Department of Pharmacokinetics at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan. With a strong background in pharmacology, biochemistry, and pharmacokinetics, Azuma’s work is dedicated to advancing the understanding of how drugs behave within the human body to improve therapeutic strategies and patient care. Azuma’s research focuses on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of pharmaceutical compounds, with particular attention to how genetic, environmental, and physiological factors influence drug effectiveness and safety. Her work aims to bridge the gap between preclinical drug development and clinical applications by identifying key pharmacokinetic parameters that can optimize drug dosing, reduce adverse drug reactions, and improve overall treatment outcomes. Additionally, Azuma is investigating the role of drug-drug interactions and their impact on pharmacokinetics, particularly for patients with complex disease profiles or polypharmacy. At Kyoto University, Azuma is actively involved in both teaching and mentoring students in the field of pharmacokinetics. Her courses cover a wide range of topics, from basic pharmacokinetic principles to advanced topics such as clinical pharmacokinetics, therapeutic drug monitoring, and personalized medicine. Azuma encourages students to think critically about the challenges and innovations in drug development and healthcare, equipping them with the tools to address current and future issues in pharmacotherapy. In addition to her academic responsibilities, Azuma collaborates with pharmaceutical companies, regulatory bodies, and international research groups to develop and refine pharmacokinetic models that enhance drug design and clinical therapy. Azuma’s research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, and she is frequently invited to present her findings at international conferences, contributing to the global advancement of pharmacokinetic research.
