Moderated by:  Barry Jones, Ph.D. - Senior Research Fellow, Metabolism at Pharmaron

Key Opinion Leader: Manthena Varma, PhD -  Research Fellow at Pfizer Inc

Dr. Varma received his B. Pharm. degree from the Kakatiya University, Warangal, India; and an M.S. degree and PhD in Pharmaceutics, from the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and research (NIPER), Mohali, India.  Later, Dr. Varma worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Pharmaceutics, University of Minnesota (Minneapolis). In 2008, he joined Worldwide R&D, Pfizer, Groton, CT.  Dr. Varma’s research is focused in the fields of ADME/PK technologies and strategies in drug design and development, role of drug transporters and transporter-enzyme interplay (extended clearance) in ADME/PK, clinical pharmacokinetics and DDI risk assessment via mechanistic (PBPK) modeling. Varma supported preclinical and clinical development of several Pfizer compounds in the oncology, metabolic diseases, and more recently in NASH/NAFLD therapeutic areas. Dr. Varma holds an Adjunct faculty position in the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Rhode Island. He published about 130 original articles/reviews and presented over 75 presentations at the scientific conferences.
