Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Darshan Mehta's research focuses on pharmacokinetic modeling and toxicological studies, particularly concerning drug transfer and exposure in pregnant individuals and newborns. He investigates the application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to estimate drug metabolism, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) processes in specific populations, including premature and mature newborns.

Mehta has explored the placental transfer of various drugs in pregnant rats and the pharmacokinetics of oseltamivir in pregnant rhesus macaques to inform clinical dosing across trimesters. His work also includes toxicokinetic and genotoxicity studies of specific compounds, such as NNK, in male Sprague Dawley rats following different exposure routes. Additionally, he has investigated the role of extracellular vesicles in biological processes, including their production and trafficking, and the evaluation of microphysiological models for studying drug transfer across the human placental barrier.
