About
Arto Urtti is a leading figure in ocular drug delivery and pharmaceutical biophysics, with a career dedicated to bridging in vitro experimentation and in vivo pharmacokinetics. His research focuses on the rational design of drug delivery systems, particularly for the eye, and the development of high-throughput screening methodologies to accelerate preclinical development. A major contribution is his work on integrating in vitro drug release data with pharmacokinetic simulations, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2014 study on intravitreal administration. This approach provides a powerful tool for predicting ocular drug behavior, reducing reliance on animal models and streamlining formulation design. Urtti has also advanced automated cellular screening, pioneering the implementation of robotic workstations for assays like Caco-2 permeability and caspase activity, enabling efficient, reproducible drug absorption and toxicity profiling. With over 200 publications and thousands of citations, his work has profoundly impacted both academic understanding and industrial practice in ophthalmic drug development. His achievements include leadership roles in pharmaceutical sciences and sustained contributions to translational research, making him a pivotal mentor and innovator in the field.
