Dr. Jeong received both her PharmD and PhD from the UIC College of Pharmacy, and completed postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Drs. William T. Beck and James Fischer at UIC. Her research interests are in understanding how female hormones regulate expression and function of hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters, and the clinical impact on pharmacokinetics of drugs. Accordingly, her current projects involve characterization of hormonal effects on hepatic drug elimination, and investigation of potential clinical outcomes of the hormonal regulation, with special interests in drug therapy in pregnant women or oral contraceptive users. The long-term goal of her work is to develop a model to better predict altered pharmacokinetics of drugs in women during the life cycle.
