About

Personal Statement

My research interests focus on the optimization of novel nanomedicine and traditional formulation for drug delivery based on experimental pharmacological data from in vitro and in vivo models, aiming to improve pharmacokinetics, efficacy and side effects. I am interested in the clarification of the ADME processes involved in drug disposition and the identification of nanoformulation characteristics influencing drug exposure. I am also working on physiologically based pharmacokinetic models to simulate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in virtual patients.
