Thesis Abstract

This project aims to analyze the role of biochemistry in drug metabolism in the fetus, which is a critical period of development characterized by rapid growth and maturation. The biochemical processes involved in drug metabolism in the fetus are distinct from those in adults and can significantly impact drug efficacy and safety. Understanding the factors that influence fetal drug metabolism is essential for optimizing drug therapies during pregnancy. This project will involve studying the enzymatic pathways and transporters involved in fetal drug metabolism, investigating the impact of drug metabolism on fetal development, and exploring the factors that influence fetal drug metabolism. The findings from this study will contribute to our understanding of drug safety during pregnancy and may have implications for personalized medicine.
