| The
Drug Studies Unit, Analytical Division, specializes in the
development of methods needed to detect and quantify drug substances
in biological fluids. Our methodologies are applied to the testing
of drug treatments and therapies of major importance in human health
and well-being. We strive to secure and succeed in a variety of
educational, pharmaceutical industry and governmental projects, for
it is these projects that offer our staff and academic personnel the
opportunity to develop their abilities and apply their expertise to
advance our understanding of problems in drug research. To meet our
fullest potential as individuals and as an organization, the DSU
must recognize and nurture an environment of togetherness and
harmony, cherishing the contributions of each member and celebrating
diversity. |

| The Analytical Division of
the Drug Studies Unit (DSU) applies Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
standards to meet the drug assay development requirements necessary
in submissions to the Food and Drug Administration. The DSU was
established in 1977 by the late Dr. Sid Riegelman, Dr. Leslie Benet
(former Chairman of the Department of Biopharmaceutical Sciences)
and Dr. Roger Williams (USP). With over 20 years experience in drug
and metabolite analysis of biological fluids, method development and
validation, the Drug Studies Unit serves as an educational,
scientific and financial resource of the Department of Biopharmaceutical
Sciences in the School of
Pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco.[More
