Keiichiro Nakamura, a PhD student at Kitasato University, is the Drug Metabolism and Disposition Highlighted Trainee Author for June 2026. His research focuses on developing human-relevant experimental models to better understand how drugs are absorbed in the intestine. The research provides a new way to recreate human intestinal function in the laboratory, allowing scientists to study medicines under conditions that more closely resemble the human body.
“I hope that my research will help make human-relevant intestinal models more accessible to the broader pharmacology community,” he shared.
