Congratulations to Paul Malik, for being selected to receive the 2020 AFPC / CCPE Pharmacy Student Research Poster Award. Congratulations!
This award is sponsored by the Council for Continuing Pharmaceutical Education (CCPE). All 10 pharmacy faculties submitted one nomination, and through a peer-review process, 3 national winners were chosen.
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 Paul Malik for being the Pharmacy school’s nominee for the 2020 AFPC / CCPE Pharmacy Student Research Poster Award Competition - “A physiological approach to predicting pharmacokinetics in chronic kidney disease”.
Congratulations Shams Ismaeil for receiving the 2020 GSK/CSPS Undergraduate Student Research Program Award for your poster on “Simulation of Acebutolol Pharmacokinetics in Chronic Kidney Disease patients using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling”.
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).
A big congratulations to Cindy, Simon and Paul on the publication of their manuscript Quantifying breast milk intake by term and preterm for input into pediatric physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models in Maternal and Child Nutrition.
This is a great accomplishment for the lab and we are all very proud of your work and achievements!
