About Melanie Nicol, PharmD, PhD

 Nicol Group Research Website

Greetings!

This blog was started as a way to share with colleagues, family, and friends about the work I have been doing in Uganda. You can read more about how I first got involved in Uganda in my first blog entry. 

I am a clinical pharmacologist by training. I received my PharmD from Ohio Northern University in 2009. During pharmacy school I caught the research bug and decided to pursue a research career rather than a clinical one. I went on to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I trained under Angela Kashuba on the clinical pharmacology of antiretroviral medications and received my PhD in 2014.

Following completion of graduate school, I joined the faculty of University of Minnesota in the Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology within the College of Pharmacy. My research is focused on the pharmacology of anti-infective drugs in tissue compartments. I am working to describe the penetration of drugs used to treat HIV and related infections into tissue compartments such as the genitals, brain, and lymph tissue so that we can better understand their effectiveness at preventing and/or treating infections.
