Angela Jeong PhD

Angela received her PharmD and Ph.D. in experimental and clinical pharmacology at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Her thesis focused on studying the role of protein prenylation and downstream signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease cells and animal models.

Angela then joined UNC-Allucent Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PKPD) Postdoctoral Fellowship, during which she worked on various projects including physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling (PBPK)-based dose optimization in children with obesity as well as hepatobiliary disposition and clearance modeling of compounds using preclinical data. Angela is currently in the 2nd year of her fellowship. Her passion lies in PBPK and quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modeling-guided drug development.
