Assistant Professor

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy. I investigate how to optimally use antimalarials to prevent malaria in vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children. To do this I use computational methods in pharmacology and epidemiology. My goal is optimize the use of...

Francesca Aweeka, PharmD, a faculty member in the School’s Department of Clinical Pharmacy, will co-lead a new five-year, $3.4 million study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to address one of the world’s most vexing health problems—preventing malaria, especially in the most...

Associate Director

As associate director of the Drug Research Unit (DRU), I bring nearly 20 years experience in analytical development and focus on development of novel methods for some of the most critical but understudied drugs in the world, such as drugs for malaria. My research interest is in optimizing these...

Professor

I am a clinical scientist and professor. My primary areas of interest include the pharmacology of drugs for HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis. I direct a laboratory, Drug Research Unit, that supports this research and the research of other UCSF investigators and researchers at other national and...

Professor

I investigate the causes of variations in clinical outcomes, using computational methods. My goal is to determine the optimal dosage, timing, and duration of therapeutic regimens. Ultimately, I want to develop precise, personalized treatments.

Associate Professor

I focus on the use of models to describe drug disposition and effect in patient populations, and the use of these models to make predictions to improve drug therapy.
