UEA药学院是英国研究成果排名最高的学校，2014年卓越研究框架（REF2014）证实了这一点。我们的研究在主题广度上具有高度创新性。从分子药理学和药物设计，制药技术和过程到专业实践，服务和健康政策研究，涵盖了与药理学相关的所有方面。尽管我们的许多研究本质上都是跨学科的，并且各部分之间的合作是很普遍的，但研究主要集中在四个主题上。
Our research is highly innovative in its breadth of topics. All aspects of pharmacy-related research are covered – from molecular pharmacology and drug design, pharmaceutic technology and formulation, through to professional practice, service and health policy research.Research is focused on four broad themes, although much of our research is cross-disciplinary in nature and collaborations between the sections are common, as well as links with other Schools in the Faculty of Science, the Norwich Medical School, local NHS trusts and the research institutes within the Norwich Research Park.<br>Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutical Materials - Research focuses on the development of novel drug delivery systems based on a fundamental understanding of their structure and properties. The research grouping is internationally recognised for developing applications of state-of-the-art methods such as solid-state NMR, thermal analysis, atomic force microscopy, and modelling tools within the pharmaceutical sciences. Other key areas of research in the group include the development of new nanopharmaceuticals, materials for pulmonary delivery (including peptides), polymer-based pharmaceutical dispersions, tissue engineering and 3D printing. <br>Medicinal Chemistry - Research is focused at the chemistry-biology interface, ranging from the synthesis of natural products and classical medicinal chemistry through to new approaches including drug delivery vehicles and targeting antimicrobial resistance at the molecular level. Areas of expertise include natural product discovery and characterisation, enzyme inhibitors, protein-protein interactions, antibody-drug conjugates, antibiotics, epigenetics, nucleic acids, peptides and supramolecular assemblies for drug delivery. <br>Medicines Management - Research is designed to optimise the use of medicines in patients, with a focus on improving the selection and monitoring of medicines and on enhancing patient medicine taking behaviour. The research is currently developing interventions to improve medicines used within care homes, to help patients with swallowing difficulties to take their medicines and to help patients who are unable to take their medicines due to either intentional or unintentional reasons. <br>Molecular Pharmacology – Research is focused on age-related diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory diseases, metabolic syndrome, cataracts and neurodegenerative disorders. There is a strong emphasis on understanding receptor function and cell signalling mechanisms in these diseases, identifying novel therapeutic targets and understanding the mechanisms of action of novel therapeutics and nutraceuticals.
