Research Interests:
PHARMACOKINETICS
Research interests include gastrointestinal pharmacology, the toxicology of metal compounds, and pharmacokinetics. Projects have included the elucidation of the hypocholesterolemic effect of pharmacologic agents, evaluation of the gastrointestinal toxicity of lead, and a critical review of the toxicology of zinc. Pharmacokinetic studies have included work with opiate analgesics, phenothiazines, pyrimidine and purine analogue anticancer agents, antiepileptic agents, mercury-containing compounds, and butyric acid derivatives for sickle cell anemia and thalessemias.
