Research summary
AI-generated

Brian R. Overholser's work focuses on how drugs are absorbed, processed, and eliminated by the body (pharmacokinetics), with particular attention to heart rhythm safety issues like QT interval prolongation, and to how genetic variation and vitamin D affect drug metabolism in organ transplant patients. Much of this research aims to inform safer, more individualized dosing of medications such as tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid used after kidney and liver transplants. This research sits at the intersection of clinical pharmacology, cardiology, and transplant medicine.
