Best poster award of the 5th QSPainRelief General Assembly meeting
PhD candidate Divakar Budda (Division of Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacy) and Solen Gousset (UCLouvain) shared were the shared winners of the best poster award of the 5th QSPainRelief General Assembly meeting held early December in Leiden.
Divakar Budda presented his poster on “Nonlinear blood-brain barrier transport and dosing strategies influence receptor occupancy ratios of morphine and its metabolites in the CNS pain matrix”. He concluded that nonlinear BBB transport of morphine influences the μ-OR occupancy ratios of morphine and its metabolites, depending on dose and route of administration, and CNS location. This may impact the clinical effects of morphine treatment for pain relief.
