Currently I am the director of the Laboratory of Applied Pharmacokinetics and Bioinformatics, which has been at the forefront of nonparametric population pharmacokinetic modeling techniques and dose optimization for individual patients for over 35 years. I am a Professor of Pediatrics, Clinical Scholar at the University of Southern California (USC) and at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA). I am the Chief of Infectious Diseases at CHLA. My research and clinical interests are in pediatric clinical pharmacometrics, including population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling, pharmacogenomics, simulation, and most importantly, use of models to optimize therapy for individual patients. We also have a “wet lab” with state-of-the-art equipment, including a hollow fiber system to optimize therapy for challenging infections, such as Mycobacterium abscessus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Burkholderia capacity. These organisms are particularly challenging for patients with cystic fibrosis, tracheostomies, and other chronic lung conditions. In the spring of 2011, I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical and Biomedical Investigations at USC, with a focus on applied Bayesian approaches to clinical trial design and pharmacokinetic modeling. I am a former member of the United States Food and Drug Administration Anti‐infective Drug Advisory Committee. I am board certified in pediatric infectious diseases and a Fellow of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology. I have had continuous NIH funding since 2007 as the PI on multiple R01s and co-investigator on other NIH grants, focused on continued development and application of pharmacometric techniques to optimize therapy in populations and individual patients. I have over 150 publications in peer‐reviewed journals, and have presented my work at numerous conferences worldwide.Specialties: Pediatrics, Infectious Diseases, Clinical Pharmacometrics (population pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenetic modeling and simulation applied to patient care)

Listed skills include R Statistical Programming Language, Clinical Trials, Clinical Research, Pharmacokinetics, and 13 others.
