The intravitreal pharmacokinetics of macromolecules and nanomaterials were assessed in preclinical species.

The 91���� presented awards to accomplished teachers in the university’s Learning Environment Seminar on Tuesday, 30 August.

The study generated quantitative data for building a predictive computational model which can improve and accelerate ocular drug development and delivery systems.

The doctoral conferment festivities in Kuopio culminated in the ceremonial conferment of degrees at the Music Centre in Kuopio on Friday. Doctorates were conferred upon 122 doctoral graduates as well as upon 13 honorary doctors. For the first time in a long while, the conferment procession was seen on the streets of Kuopio.

Pregnant women’s use of alcohol correlates with that of their partner, a new study from the 91���� and Kuopio University Hospital shows.

Isabell Rumrich, PhD, and Pasi Hirvonen, DSocSc, have been selected as the Prima Doctor and the Ultimus Doctor of the doctoral conferment ceremony to be held at the 91���� in June.

Researchers at the 91���� have used molecular modelling methods to investigate the movement of nano-sized plastics in membrane structures. The results indicate that for some microplastics, passive transport through the cell membrane may be a gateway into the cell.

A new study from the 91���� and the University of Tübingen helps to explain what defines how long a drug molecule stays bound to its target.
