Congratulations Cindy!

A HUGE congratulations to Cindy Hoi Ting Yeung for receiving the Frederick Banting and Charles Best Canada Graduate Scholarships Doctoral Award (CGS-D) – She ranked #1/290 in Canada! She has also received the Canada Graduate Scholarship to Honour Nelson Mandela (one of two recipients).

Paul has been selected as a recipient of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (ASCPT),  2020 Presidential Trainee Award as recognition for his abstract titled "Integration of Ontogeny into PBPK Models for Monoclonal Anitbodies in Very Young Children." He was supposed to be presenting his abstract during the annual meeting in March 2020 in Houston, TX, and receiving his special recognition, but due to COVID-19 he was unable to attend.  

His video explaining his abstract can be seen here 

PharmD students Milena Ljumovic and Trisha Manucha present their PHARM401 research on the prevalence of off-label use for coagulation factors VIII and IX based on data from the Web-Accessible Population Pharmacokinetics Service – Hemophilia (WAPPS-Hemo.org). The results indicate that off-label use is higher for FIX (approx. 60%) than for FVIII (35%).

Congratulations Alanna

Alanna McEneny-King successfully defended her PhD thesis “Pharmacokinetic modelling of clinically relevant situations in the treatment of hemophilia A and B “on Jan 23rd, 2020. The thesis work explored the development and application of population pharmacokinetic models in the dose optimization of factor concentrates in hemophilia patients. The thesis also greatly contributed to the Web-Accessible Population Pharmacokinetic Service – Hemophilia (WAPPS-Hemo.org).

Welcome Colin Phipps!

We welcome Colin Phipps, PhD, into our group at the School of Pharmacy, University of Waterloo. Colin is a recent graduate in Applied Mathematics, University of Waterloo. His doctoral research focussed on the development of mathematical models for the rational combination of cancer therapies including the use of chemotherapy-loaded nanodelivery vehicles and molecular inhibitors that mitigate chemoresistance.
