The Center for Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences: scope and perspectives.
The Center for Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences of the State University of Leiden was established in September 1984. Its main objective is to conduct multidisciplinary research on the production of drugs and their disposition and effects in man and animals. In addition, it will offer teaching programmes at M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels. Two integrated research themes may involve all disciplines present in the Center: stereoisomers and endogenous compounds. There will be close co-operation with the related disciplines medicine, chemistry, biology and biotechnology, and with pharmaceutical industry. Industry funding up to 35% of total funds will be pursued. An Industrial Liaison Body was established to take care of the management aspects of collaboration with industry.
