What I do
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.
Departmental research area
My research expertise
pharmacometrics, precision dosing, clinical pharmacology, systems pharmacology, precision medicine, pharmacogenetics, translational sciences, nonlinear mixed effects models, infectious diseases, tuberculosis, malaria, HIV cure, developmental pharmacology, disease progression models, drug development, NONMEM, modeling and simulations, clinical trial design, pediatrics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, data science
Degrees
PhD, Pharmacometrics, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, 2008
MS, Biomedical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, 2004
BSc, Pharmacy, University of Belgrade, Serbia, 2003
Biography
My research uses computational methods to study the dynamic interplay between disease progression, drug and biomarker response across relevant scales (molecule, cell, tissue, organ & whole body) in order to determine causal links underlying variability in (safety and efficacy) clinical outcomes. By integrating multi-scale, and multi-level clinical data, we aim to determine the right dose, right schedule and right treatment duration of various therapies, potentially bringing novel, precise and personalized treatment options to patients with unmet need more quickly.
