Dr Zhu is an Associate Professor in Pharmacometrics since 2021. In 2012, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Science from Fudan University. He obtained a master’s degree in Pharmacy from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2015 and a PhD in Pharmacometrics from University of Otago in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Duffull and Prof. Michelle Glass. During 2019-2020 he was supported by a grant from Murdoch Children's Research Institute as a postdoc research fellow at the University of Otago. His current research involves the development of pharmacological models, population analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data, and the optimal design of clinical studies. He has developed population PK/PD models in a range of therapeutic areas, primarily for neuroscience, bacterial infections, and oncology. His research facilitates the translation of drug effect/toxicity from preclinical (in vitro and in vivo) to patients and from early to late clinical development, and for optimising clinical usage of drugs.
