Research Focus
• Anti-infective translational research in relation to antimicrobial resistance: Our goal
is to improve patient care by maximizing clinical outcomes and preventing the development of bacterial resistance.
• Anti-Cancer translational research in relation to 3D modeling and epigenetic studies: Our goal is to optimize cancer chemotherapy and overcome/reverse the development of resistance
Approach taken by my research program is defined by both bench investigations as well as clinical simulation studies:
• In-Vitro Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic(PK/PD) modeling of anti-infective therapy Cutting edge in-vitro pharmacodynamic modeling techniques (for both planktonic as well as biofilm growing cells) are utilized to mimic concentration-time profile and populations encountered in patients. Our goal is to design strategies that optimize anti-infective efficacy and prevent the selection of drug resistant mutants during anti-infective therapy.
• In-Vitro Pharmacokinetic/Pharamcodynamic(PK/PD) modeling of cancer chemotherapy Advanced 3D cell culture models to evaluate administration schedules for anti-cancer agents and epigenetic studies to optimize clinical outcome.
• Mathematical modeling and clinical simulation analysis
This translational approach involves integration of pre-clinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data as well as early clinical pharmacokinetics/population pharmacokinetics data into mathematical modeling and Monte Carlo simulation routines. Our goal is to elucidate exposure-response relationship for target identification and optimal design of clinical trials.

ABSTRACT. Research was conducted to understand the effect of har- vesting method and postharvest temperature on fruit quality of ‘Bright- well’ and ‘Tifblue’ rabbiteye blueberries ( Vaccinium ashei Reade). Mass loss, firmness and fruit respiration were measured under refriger- ated (1°C) and ambient (22°C) conditions for both machine harvested (MH) and hand harvested (HH) berries of e
FOUNDATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR Finding and analyzing the variables that have an impact on employee productivity, absence, turnover, and satisfaction is often complicated. Many of the concepts—motivation, or power, politics or organizational culture—are hard to assess. Other factors are more easily definable and readily available—data that can be obtained from an employee’s person
