UW Research
University of Washington Program on Pharmacokinetics of Drugs of Abuse during Pregnancy (UWPKDAP)
Mission
The primary purpose of the program is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of maternal-fetal drug disposition in pregnant women with special emphasis on drugs of abuse, and those used in the treatment of drug abuse. Once collected, the data will be synthesized into Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models that will help predict maternal and fetal exposure to illicit and licit drugs used by pregnant women.
