CATHERINE A. WHITE, Ph.D.
Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences
Associate Professor
Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences
Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences
Ph.D. Pharmaceutics, University of Washington 1985
B.S. Pharmacy, St. Louis College of Pharmacy 1980
Research Areas: Pharmacokinetics of new investigational therapeutic agents/environmental toxins including both in vitro and in vivo testing; analysis of data to generate pharmacokinetic parameters; bioanalytical analysis; stability testing, brain disposition of compounds; drug metabolism and educational research
Opportunities for Collaboration: Toxicology, preclinical evaluation of new therapeutic agents or formulations, drug delivery, medicinal chemistry, brain disposition of compounds, and educational research
Winner of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Innovations in Teaching Competition, 2009
Dr. White’s research focuses on the influence of age and gender on the disposition of drugs and toxicants, and their subsequent therapeutic or toxic outcomes, and the physiological-based pharmacokinetic modeling for utilization in predicting toxicity and exposures. She also studies drug:drug interactions occurring at the maternal-placental-fetal interfaces, and pre-clinical evaluation of pharmacokinetics and toxicity of new drug entities. She is also searching for educational strategies that enhance active learning for pharmacy students.
