About
Anne Smits is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, KU Leuven, affiliated with the Department of Development and Regeneration. She specializes in developmental pharmacology, focusing on neonatal and pediatric pharmacology with expertise in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Her research addresses drug safety for vulnerable populations, particularly in maternal and neonatal contexts.
- Active projects include REPAIR-Neo (2024-2026) as co-promotor and personalized pharmacotherapy in neonates (2023-2028) as promotor
- Key contributor to the ConcePTION project and conect4children network
- Member of the Research Ethics Committee at UZ/KU Leuven and Faculty Council of Medicine
Her recent publications demonstrate a focus on drug transfer in human milk, therapeutic hypothermia impacts on pharmacokinetics, and pregnancy-related pharmacological risks. She employs advanced modeling techniques and participates in cross-institutional clinical research frameworks.
Anne Smits contributes to educational programs including 'Evidence in Clinical Practice' (E0C30A), 'Integrated Clinical Research' (E0C63B), and various case-based learning modules in pediatrics. Her work bridges clinical application with computational modeling in neonatal pharmacology.
