Performed MIC testing, Hollow Fiber Infection Model (HFIM), and static concentration–time kill (SCTK) on CRAB and MDR P. aeruginosa;
Conducted Limulus Amebocyte Lysate endotoxin assays to quantify antibiotic-induced bacterial lysis and inflammatory potential.
HFIM data processing:
Assisted with HFIM data organization and analysis over 7-day humanized antibiotic exposures
PK/PD modeling support:
Prepared datasets, formatted S-ADAPT input files, and supported exposure–response assessment for PBPK-PD model development;
Helped interpret killing-curve and HFIM results for the CNS PBPK-PD study
