Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Dr Fasinu received his Doctorate in Pharmacology from the Stellenbosch University in South Africa followed by a 4-year postdoctoral research fellowship at the National Center for Natural Product Research, School of Pharmacy, University of Mississippi. Dr Fasinu has had multiple trainings in Clinical Pharmacokinetics. His research interests focus on drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) as applicable in clinical pharmacology and drug development. He utilizes liver-based drug biotransformation to elucidate the metabolic pathways of new chemical entities (NCEs), evaluate drug-drug and herb-drug interactions. He is also actively involved in pharmacokinetics, PKPD modeling and phase I clinical trials. Dr Fasinu is a registered pharmacist in the states of Mississippi and North Carolina.
