Adviser: Craig Lee
Robert’s research interests include cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. His current work focuses on the epoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism and its role in vascular inflammation. Click here for CV |  | Brandon Swift bswift@email.unc.edu
Year Admitted: 2005
Adviser: Kim Brouwer
The objective of Brandon's research project is to identify and characterize probe substrates for specific hepatic transport proteins. There is a need to identify specific probe substrates for basolateral and canalicular transport proteins to aid in elucidating mechanisms of hepatobiliary drug transport, phenotyping for interindividual differences in transport protein function, and identifying the potential for drug-drug interactions at the hepatic transport level. |  | Jasmine Talameh jtalameh@email.unc.edu
Year Admitted: 2008
Adviser: Angela Kashuba
Jasmine is currently working on a study to determine the first-dose and steady-state pharmacokinetics of raltegravir (Isentress) in the genital tract of HIV-uninfected women. This study is essential in evaluating the potential utility of raltegravir as a future agent for pre- and post-exposure HIV prophylaxis. Click here for CV |
