Mariam Mamlouk

Mariam Mamlouk serves as an Associate Lecturer (Education) at the Sydney Pharmacy School within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Her academic work bridges pharmaceutical science and respiratory medicine, focusing on drug-epithelial interactions in airway diseases.

Her educational qualifications include a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (BPharmSc) and a Master of Philosophy (MPhil).

Research centers on Respiratory Pharmacology, specifically investigating how compounds like polyunsaturated fatty acids and NSAIDs alter airway epithelial barrier function and drug absorption. Her work employs in vitro models such as Calu-3 bronchial cells to study mechanisms relevant to asthma and pulmonary drug delivery, with emphasis on tight junction integrity and pharmacokinetic interactions.

Publication trends reveal consistent focus on airway epithelial barriers since 2013, evolving from NSAID-salbutamol interactions toward PUFA effects on cellular junctions. Both studies appeared in specialized respiratory journals (Journal of Asthma, Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics), indicating sustained contribution to pulmonary pharmacology despite limited recent output.
