Dr. Ganesh Rajaraman is a study director for CellzDirect’s in vitro drug metabolism studies, including cytochrome P450 induction, inhibition, and drug - drug interaction studies. Dr. Rajaraman received his doctorate from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba under the guidance of Dr. Frank J. Burczynski. Dr. Rajaraman’s dissertation focused on understanding the role of fatty-acid binding proteins in important hepatocellular processes such as fatty-acid uptake and transport, mitosis, and oxidative stress. As a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia, he conducted toxicological studies to assess the effect of herbal extracts on drug-induced hepatotoxicity in both in vivo animal models and in vitro rat hepatocyte models, under the guidance of Dr. Thomas K. Chang. Dr. Rajaraman gained expertise in the areas of in vitro hepatotoxicity screening, drug-induced liver toxicity, and drug-drug interactions involving cytochrome p450s through his graduate and post-doctoral training. |
