  • Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK)

    My laboratory works to evaluate the metabolic fate and identify compound liabilities of new chemical compounds. My laboratory collaborates with the medicinal chemistry, biology and pharmacology groups within the translational research group at Scripps Florida and with the NIH's Molecular Library Screening Center Network. We evaluate such factors as chemical and metabolic stability, solubility, oral absorption, pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, protein binding, and metabolite formation. Data is used to refine molecules to enhance desired properties and eliminate undesirable properties. We also attempt to identify compounds that have the potential for metabolic based toxicities and drug-drug interactions. The laboratory researches methods to better predict compound behavior and metabolic based toxicities.
