Mehdi Boroujerdi, Ph.D.
Dean, Professor of Pharmaceutics
(o) 518.694.7140
Education:
Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Teaching Experience:
Pharmacokinetics, Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics, Physical Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology, Dosage Forms, Pharmaceutical Analysis and Quality Control, Pharmaceutical Calculations, Advanced Pharmacokinetics, Drug Metabolism, Advanced Pharmaceutics, Novel Drug Delivery Systems
Research Interests:
Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) has been attributed to manifestation of multidrug resistance (MDR). The influence of modulation (inhibition or stimulation) of this protein on pharmacokinetics and toxicodynamics of xenobiotics is the current focus of our research projects.
