Julie Ducharme

Julie Ducharme is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Montreal, where she conducts research at the intersection of pharmacology and drug metabolism.

Her primary research focuses on inflammatory impacts on cytochrome P450 enzyme systems and their pharmacokinetic consequences, particularly regarding delta agonist compounds. This work employs in vitro methodologies to investigate metabolic alterations in disease states, bridging molecular pharmacology and clinical drug safety.

Dr. Ducharme has supervised doctoral research including Denis Projean's 2004 PhD thesis examining inflammation-induced changes in rat cytochrome P450 metabolism and pharmacokinetic implications for delta agonists.
