New scientific publication of Department

The manuscript, “High voriconazole target-site exposure after approved sequence dosing due to nonlinear pharmacokinetics assessed by long-term microdialysis” by Kirbs et al. has been published in the Eur. J. Pharm. Sci  (doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2019.02.001). A key component of the analysis was the evaluation of the relationship between CYP2C19 genotype-predicted phenotype and voriconazole clearance.
