I joined Aston University in June 2010 as Lecturer in Pharmacokinetics following over 3 years of extensive pharmacokinetics training with the world-renowned Centre for Applied Pharmacokinetics Research as a post-doctorate research associate, within the School of Pharmacy at the University of Manchester.

I have a broad background and interest in applying the principles of clinical pharmacokinetics to challenging pre-clinical and clinical scenarios in the context of medicines optimisation.  As a pharmacokineticist and practicing pharmacist, I have a singular vision of developing tools and approaches which provide clear end-user/clinical benefits.  This approach has driven successes in developing research tools to predict oral drug absorption and central nervous system drug biodistribution in addition to medicines optimisation for a range of disease conditions (e.g. tropical disease, cardiovascular disease, drug abuse).  

The goal of my research group is to provide guidance in the development, evaluation and implementation of approaches for predicting and improving clinical pharmacokinetics to optimise dosing through medicines optimisation.

Research strands actively pursued within this group are translational and include the techniques of:

• Whole Body Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling
• Population pharmacokinetics

Which are widely applied to a variety of research interests, which include:

• Medicines optimisation
• Deprescribing
• Mental health
• Opioid abuse
• Tropical disease

Collaborative research is welcome and encouraged, please contact me for more details
