BIO

I am a Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) in the College of Pharmacy and Associate Head for Research with a research program focused on the translational development of experimental therapeutics with a focus on phytochemicals. My laboratory research focuses on a combination of preclinical and clinical research. We actively isolate phytochemicals from plants, evaluate activity in cell free and cell based models along with models to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of investigational agents.

I received my BS in biology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, PharmD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Biomedical Sciences. My trained included a NIH CTSA Fellowship to evaluate natural products for cancer prevention. I am also a pharmacist interested in the clinical development of experimental therapeutics including plant extracts and phytochemicals to improve human health.
