Biography

Dr. Venkata K Yellepeddi  is currently working in Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy, Texas A&M Health Science Center, W Ave B, Kingsville, Texas, USA. Research interest - Chemistry, Organic Chemistry. He has a good track record in managing and developing local teams and competences as well as in growing a profitable business.

Research Interest

 My research focuses primarily on developing nanotechnology-based formulations for targeting therapeutics to tumors. My research also focuses on the development and pharmacokinetic evaluation of formulations to overcome various physiological barriers (nasal, periodontal, skin, corneal etc.). In my lab, we are developing various nanotechnology-based delivery systems to target drugs/macromolecules to resistant-tumors, to overcome the blood-brain barrier in diseases like migraine and cerebral palsy, and to overcome gastrointestinal epithelial barrier. The other areas of my research interests include population pharmacokinetics and modeling of drugs used in special populations; formulation and evaluation of sterile and non-sterile extemporaneously compounded preparations; biopharmaceutic and pharmacokinetic evaluation of new chemical entities (NCE's); and development of technology-based visual aids for the teaching pharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics.
