Research

The Krise laboratory seeks to understand how drugs distribute and localize within human cells and how this influences their therapeutic activity and pharmacokinetic distribution properties. Much of our recent studies have focused on the intracellular distribution of amine-containing drugs and their propensity to become highly concentrated in acidic intracellular compartments such as lysosomes according to an ion trapping-type mechanism.
