Personal Details

Biography

Riyazuddin Mohammed obtained his PhD in Pharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics from the CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, India. His doctoral research focused on investigating the preclinical pharmacokinetics of novel anticancer molecules. Following his PhD, he joined Vimta Life Sciences, India, where he contributed to biocompatibility, bioequivalence, and biowaiver studies. In the spring of 2024, he joined the Rohan Lab as a Postdoctoral Associate. His current research focuses on understanding the pharmacokinetics of drugs in the female reproductive tract.

Research Interests

My research focuses on characterizing the pharmacokinetics of drugs in the female reproductive tract, with an emphasis on understanding drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and retention within reproductive tissues. I develop in vitro new approach methodologies (NAMs) that mimic key physiological features of the reproductive tract to better predict local drug concentrations. In parallel, I generate experimental data to develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models that quantitatively integrate these measurements and simulate drug behavior within reproductive tissues, enabling more accurate prediction of in vivo pharmacokinetics.
