薬理学講座

薬理学は,薬にまつわるあらゆる事象を扱う総合科学です。20世紀中頃まで,薬の開発は経験と勘に頼って行われてきましたが,近年になり,疾患特異性の高い安全で有効な薬を,科学的にデザインできるようになってきました。これに伴い,20年前までは薬といえば低分子化合物のことを指していたのが,現在では売上の約半数を抗体,ペプチド,核酸医薬が占めるようになり,医療現場では薬物治療のパラダイムシフトが進行しています。21世紀の薬理学は,物事をゼロベースで捉えることのできる人にとって,まさにフロンティアの大海原のようなものです。ペニシリンの同定に匹敵する未来の医療革新をもたらすのは,あなたかもしれません。

教育方針

現在,薬理学の対象となる医師が処方できる薬は,1万5000種類にのぼります。幸いなことに,医療の細分化が進んだ現代では,一人の医師が日常的に使いこなすべき薬は数十種類ほどに限られます。しかし,新薬や合剤,ジェネリック医薬品が急増する昨今,医師が自ら扱う薬の特性を詳細に把握することは,ますます困難になっています。
ここで少し考えてみてください。100年前の薬の辞典を紐解けば,現代の科学的視点では到底受け入れがたい治療薬があふれかえっていることに気づくでしょう。これは,今日の最善が必ずしも未来の最善とは限らないことを意味しています。薬理学を単なる薬の博物学としてではなく,薬の開発にまつわる社会・歴史・経済的側面にも光をあてながら学ぶ学問と捉えるならば,将来,皆さんが次々と出現する未知の薬と対峙した際に,より洗練された批判的思考を発揮し,患者さんにとって最善の選択を導くことができるでしょう。文理融合による薬の学びと研究を通じて,皆さんの認知的複雑性の向上に貢献できれば,これに勝る喜びはありません。

活動・研究内容

外界からの刺激 (感覚刺激,感染,ストレスなど)が全身の生理的・病的状態に与える影響をさまざまな科学的手法を集学駆使することで明らかにしてゆきます。細分化された医学を統合することで新しい概念を創出し,本来の医学がもっている面白さを引き出します。
