Pusat Teknologi Penghantaran
Dadah dan Vaksin
(CENTRIC)

Pusat Teknologi Penyampaian Dadah dan Vaksin (CENTRIC) dahulunya dikenali sebagai Pusat Penyampaian Teknologi Dadah  (CDDT).

Pusat ini menekankan aspek strategi dalam memanfaatkan perkembangan kontemporari dan termaju sistem penyampaian dadah dan rekabentuk kandungan.

An efficient drug delivery system carries a therapeutic substance to the site of action and/or controls the rate of release of the substance, thus improves its efficacy and safety.

The understanding of the physiochemical properties of the therapeutic substances as well as understanding the human physiological barriers, such as transport in the circulatory system and drug movement through cells and tissues are crucial in drug delivery.

In our centre, we constantly seek new formulation strategies and novel design approaches to optimize therapeutic efficacy and patient safety.

Our centre’s strengths include nanotechnology, advanced topical and wound formulations, vaccines, brain drug delivery and the use of natural and synthetic polymers in the formulation development.

Vision : To provide a therapeutic amount of medication while improving efficacy and safety by controlling the location, rate and time of release of a particular drug in the body.

Mission : Aim to develop more effective and efficient ways to deliver drugs and vaccines to patients.

• To utilize the latest and rational strategies in developing of advanced drug delivery system and dosage form design.
• To improve efficacy and safety in carrying a therapeutic substance and also understanding of the human physiological barriers.
• To seek new formulation strategies and novel design approaches to optimize therapeutic efficacy and patient safety.
