个人简介

Dr. Namandje N. Bumpus is an assistant professor of pharmacology and molecular sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She holds a secondary appointment in the Division of Pharmacology within the Department of Medicine. Her research seeks to define the role of drug metabolism and reactive metabolite formation in the toxicities associated with the use of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors to treat HIV-1. Dr. Bumpus received her Ph.D. in pharmacology at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. She then completed a fellowship at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, where she studied the regulation of cyp4a and cyp4f genes in mice. Dr. Bumpus has authored or co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and serves on the editorial board of the journal Drug Metabolism and Disposition. In 2013, she was honored with the prestigious Tanabe Young Investigator Award from the American College of Clinical Pharmacology. B.A., Occidental College (California) (2003) Ph.D., University of Michigan (Michigan) (2007)

Dr. Bumpus’ laboratory uses mass spectrometry and molecular pharmacology based approaches to investigate the biotransformation of clinically used drugs by the cytochromes P450s. The cytochromes P450 are responsible for the metabolism of an estimated 75 percent of currently marketed drugs. Cytochrome P450-mediated biotransformation of drugs most often results in the production of hydrophilic metabolites that can be readily excreted from the body; however, in certain instances toxic metabolites are formed that can stimulate cell death and organ failure. The Bumpus lab focuses on defining a role for cytochrome P450-dependent metabolites in drug-induced acute liver failure associated with certain antiviral drugs used to treat HIV and hepatitis C. To approach this, they develop novel mass spectrometry assays to measure and discover drug metabolites. In addition, they isolate these metabolites and probe their pharmacology and toxicology using both in vitro and in vivo models. In doing so, they examine modulation of cellular signaling pathways by these metabolites using molecular techniques and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics to spur discovery of biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for drug-induced liver failure. Further, once the chemical structure of a toxic metabolite has been elucidated, they test whether blocking the site of metabolism can inhibit the toxicity without altering the pharmacologic activity of the drug. The long-term goal of the lab is to gain information that can be used to develop next generation therapies that are devoid of these toxic events by preventing the formation of a toxic metabolite and/or by developing strategies for preventing toxicity using concomitant therapy.
