Zhang, Tao - Husson College

个人简介

Dr. Tao Zhang joined Husson School of Pharmacy as an Assistant Professor of Pharmacokinetics in the spring of 2014. He earned a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from College of Pharmacy at University of Michigan in 2010. He then worked in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) group at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation in New Jersey for more than 3 years before joining Husson. Dr. Zhang’s current research interests focus on two areas: (1) Pharmacokinetic /pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to support dose selection and assess drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential; (2) Identification and molecular mechanism study of compounds targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs). Dr. Zhang has authored over 20 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals including Drug Metabolism and Disposition, Molecular Pharmaceutics, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, and The Journal of Biological Chemistry. Outside of work, Dr. Zhang enjoys spending time with his family. He also likes to take time out for sports and gardening.
