New paediatric medicines research centre
A paediatric medicines research centre has been launched by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
The Centre for Therapeutic Evaluation of Drugs in Children is being led
by Hussain Mulla, senior clinical pharmacist and researcher in clinical
pharmacology based at Glenfield Hospital.
He said: “The aim of the new centre is to optimise treatment for
children providing the maximum benefit while minimising side effects.
This will include looking at new and established medicines, and developing
formulations that are more appropriate for children, such as liquids.”
The centre will initiate studies into medicines for children and will
collaborate with other researchers and industry.
