What I do

I co-lead the School’s plans for developing graduate education programs in the computational and experimental sciences, along with Brian Shoichet, PhD. These programs are geared toward giving the School’s PharmD students greater career opportunities throughout biomedicine.

As a faculty member in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, I investigate optimal drug discovery and development approaches using computational methods. I integrate data and knowledge to determine the optimal choices of precise and personalized treatments.

Departmental research area

Biography

My research uses computational methods to study the dynamic interplay between disease progression, treatment regimen, and drug and biomarker response across relevant scales (molecule, cell, tissue, organ & whole body) 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, schedule, and treatment duration of various therapies, potentially bringing novel, precise and personalized treatment options to patients with unmet need more quickly.
