Allen I. White Lecture

Advancing Knowledge of Drug Transport Proteins to Develop Improved Therapeutics and Enhance Precision Medicine

Presented by Kim Brouwer, PharmD, PhD

Join us as Dr. Kim Brouwer, a Kenan Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, presents her groundbreaking research on membrane transport proteins and their role in drug absorption, distribution, and excretion. Her work explores how genetics, disease, and external factors influence transporter function, leading to variability in drug response and patient outcomes. By integrating innovative in vitro and in vivo models with mathematical simulations, Dr. Brouwer’s team is shaping the future of precision medicine and therapeutic dose optimization.

A renowned clinical pharmacologist, Dr. Brouwer has led NIH-funded research since 1991, focusing on hepatobiliary drug disposition and drug-transporter interactions. She has mentored over 100 clinical pharmacologists, authored 270+ publications, and co-invented B-CLEAR® technology. As a global leader in transporter science, she co-chairs the International Transporter Consortium and has received numerous prestigious awards, including the 2024 ASCPT Rawls-Palmer Progress in Medicine Award.

Join us for this opportunity to learn from one of the field’s most influential researchers as she shares insights that have transformed drug development and patient care.
