New Member Profile: Dr. Tony Kiang, residency and clinical pharmacologist\/toxicologist at University of Alberta<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are happy to welcome to the Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP) new members of diverse areas to join our community of researchers, clinicians, patient\/family\/donor partners and trainees who are dedicated to improving the lives of organ donors and recipients. As a new member, people are an essential part of our mission to advance the science of donation and transplantation and develop innovative, evidence-based approaches to improve outcomes for patients in Canada and around the world.<\/p>\n

We are thrilled to have Dr. Tony Kiang <\/strong>joining CDTRP Research Theme 4 – Tailor an Optimal Immune System for Each Patient<\/a>, as a new investigator.\u00a0Dr. Kiang is a residency and and a postdoctoral fellowship-trained clinical pharmacologist \/ toxicologist in a tenure-track appointment at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of Alberta<\/p>\n

We have asked Dr. Kiang a few questions that you can read below.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
What are your fields of expertise and interests in research?<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\n

I am a residency-, PhD-, and postdoctoral fellowship-trained clinical pharmacologist\/toxicologist in a tenure-track appointment (awarded Tenure and Promotion, starting July 2023) in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Alberta. I am in a unique position for being able to teach and research at high levels in both clinical and experimental sciences. I have extensive experience with solid organ transplantation, pharmacokinetic modeling, drug analysis, and toxicological assessment in various disease states, as evident by my 46 peer-reviewed full papers (mostly as the primary or the corresponding author), 2 books, and 7 book chapters in high impact publications.<\/p>\n

Although still considered a new investigator, I have already been cited 1900 times (h-index 20; i10-index 30; Google Scholar analytics: Kiang publications<\/a><\/u>) and serves on the editorial boards of a number of well-regarded journals. I am also sought-after internationally by the pharmaceutical industry for my consulting expertise in drug kinetic modeling and therapeutic drug monitoring. My laboratory is funded by multiple grants, including tri-council funding to support my unique role in facilitating the translation of research knowledge from the bench to the bedside.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What new areas of interest would you like to develop or with which different disciplines or specialist(s) would you like to collaborate within the CDTRP?<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\n

I am interested in exploring new areas of research within the CDTRP, specifically focusing on liver, lung, and cardiac transplantation. In addition, I would like to collaborate with specialists in therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic modeling to develop innovative transplant strategies that optimize patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tell us a fun fact about yourself!<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\n

I am very keen in photography!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>
