What I'm looking for

I seek research-driven roles in clinical pharmacology or pharmacogenomics that combine population PK modelling, translational studies, teaching, and opportunities to implement therapeutic drug monitoring in resource-limited settings.

I am a clinical pharmacologist with an MD in Pharmacology and hands-on experience in pharmacokinetic modelling, therapeutic drug monitoring, and clinical research. I have led and co‑investigated multiple studies, including vancomycin population pharmacokinetics and alternative sampling strategies for rifampicin.

My technical strengths include HPLC, PCR, spectrophotometry, dried plasma spot methods, and R for pharmacokinetic and population modelling, paired with experience in phlebotomy and drug extraction. I have authored and coauthored peer‑reviewed publications and presented at national and international conferences.

I combine academic teaching across medical and allied health programs with industry and clinical roles, having served as a regional medical advisor and as faculty. I seek to contribute to translational pharmacology, therapeutic drug monitoring, and pharmacogenomics in settings that value rigorous research and practical patient impact.
