About Michael

I work in the area between pre-clinical and clinical drug development for the treatment of tuberculosis. My focus is the development and application of mathematical and computational tools to better translate experimental studies to dose selection for clinical trials. This work involves both conventional pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling and simulation as well as physiological modeling and the use of engineering-based approaches to design optimized combination drug regimens.
