Dr. Lindsay C. Czuba is a Pharmaceutical Scientist with expertise in drug transport, metabolism and drug interactions.
She received her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2017 from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, under the mentorship of Dr. Peter Swaan. Her doctoral work focused on understanding the impact of post-translational modifications on the structure-function of the human intestinal bile acid transporter, ASBT. She then joined the lab of Dr. Nina Isoherranen at the University of Washington. As a postdoctoral fellow, her research was focused on altered vitamin A and drug metabolism in human obesity and pregnancy.
Dr. Czuba’s research program aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate the structure-function relationship of transporters and metabolizing enzymes, with a particular emphasis on those involved in bile acid homeostasis. By understanding the mechanisms by which bile acid homeostasis is maintained, this work aims to identify novel therapeutic targets and strategies for treating human obesity and associated comorbidities.
