Sean N. Avedissian PharmD, MSc

Dr. Sean N. Avedissian is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, College of Pharmacy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He completed his Master's at Northwestern University. Dr. Avedissian lectures in Infectious Disease and Pharmacokinetics. His research interests are related to the pharmacokinetic modeling of antibiotics/antivirals in special populations (HIV, critically ill).

His recent research has focused on developing pharmacokinetic models in clinical and pre-clinical environments. In addition, he has been interested in identifying the mass transit of drugs from the plasma to other compartments in the body and how patient-specific conditions/variables affect the pharmacokinetics of a drug. Initial work here at UNMC will focus on integrating with the HIV/TB research group and developing mathematical models to describe the pharmacokinetics of HIV/TB drugs.
