About CAPKR

The Centre for Applied Pharmacokinetic Research (CAPKR) is a consortium of academic researchers at The University of Manchester and ten industrial pharmaceutical companies.

Our mission is to understand what happens to drugs when they enter the body – where they go, how they are metabolised and how quickly. In particular, we seek to understand how differences of genetics, lifestyle and disease affect what happens to drugs.

This understanding leads to more appropriate drugs and dosing for each patient (so called ‘precision medicine’) and more economic use of drugs by the NHS and other healthcare providers.
