RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

My research program is part of the center for aids research (CFAR) and division of pharmacotherapy and experimental therapeutics in the School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina (UNC). I have been working in the CFAR clinical pharmacology and analytical chemistry core since year 2000. My research interests focus on inventing new ways for accurate measuring of anti-HIV drug agents and other drugs in different human body compartments. These ways of analysis are crucial for studying of the pharmacokinetic of anti-HIV drug agents. Also, in order to be able to optimize of the therapeutic outcome of AIDS treatment using combination therapy of the HAART strategies. These measurements are very important for establishing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) system. The long run  Information obtained from preclinical and clinical pharmacology  studies are greatly add to the understanding of the pharmacology of anti-HIV agents, permit individualization of therapeutic treatment based on pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic, principles, and allow for the rational design of therapeutic regimens.

My second area of interest is helping graduate student to do more advanced scientific research during their Pharm D or/and PhD program at UNC.
