Maria Carolina Braga holds a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a specialization in Clinical Pharmacy. She has over 10 years of experience in pharmacovigilance and recently completed a master’s degree in Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology, focusing her research on the use of artificial intelligence in aggregate safety report writing.

Chang supports the preclinical-to-clinical PKPD translation and human efficacious dose prediction of new biological entities at Boehringer Ingelheim. Dr. Chang obtained his MS and Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. Under Dr. Dhaval Shah’s mentorship, Dr. Chang investigated antibody and protein therapeutic disposition in the rat brain using large-poremicrodialysis and developed a translational brain PBPK model for monoclonal antibodies.

Dhaval K Shah is an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Prior to becoming the faculty Prof. Shah served as a Principle Scientist in the ‘Translational Research-Modeling & Simulation’ group at Pfizer Inc. His research focuses on understanding the determinants for the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) of protein therapeutics. His lab uses the principles of Pharmacokinetics-Pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) Modeling & Simulation to support the discovery, clinical translation, and late phase development of novel biologics like engineered antibodies, multi-specific proteins, immuno-oncology agents, engineered T cells, and antibody-drug conjugates.

Shengjia Wu is a PhD student in the pharmaceutical sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo. His research focuses on understanding and modeling the macromolecule distribution in the central nervous system.

Yingyi Li gained her master’s degree of pharmaceutical sciences in University at Buffalo. When Yingyi was a master student, she was working in Dr. Dhaval Shah’s lab and became more experienced in PBPK modeling. Yingyi is currently a scientist in the field of pharmacometrics and translational PK-PD in Enhanced Pharmacodynamics.

Saurabh Srivastava is Associate Professor in Department of Pharmaceutics, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Hyderabad. He carries more than 15 years of profound industrial and research experience working with several Pharmaceutical R&Ds, including IPCA labs, Wockhardt research centre and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories for development and commercialisation of various NDA and ANDA based products for different regulated markets. He is actively involved in execution of several Industrial and Govt. aided research projects for establishment of novel differentiated (505 b 2) product development. He has 02 Commercial Products, 10 International and National Patents, 01 Edited book, 10 Book chapters along with 25 research publications in Journals of International repute to his credit.

Saurabh Shah is currently pursuing his Ph.D. from National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Hyderabad. He has published 2 research papers, 4 review articles and 2 book chapters in renowned journals. His research focus lies in hastening the clinical translation of nanomedicine-based products from bench to bedside. He has also been involved in numerous industry research and development projects from laboratory to pilot scale up.
