His team employs sophisticated UPLC–MS/MS assays, in vivo rodent models, and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modeling to quantify changes in cytochrome P450 activity, blood–brain barrier permeability, and hepatobiliary transport under pathological conditions. Complementing his experimental program, he explores evidence-based educational strategies, including open-book assessments and online pharmacokinetic tools, to advance PharmD training. Publications Overview Across more than 50 peer-reviewed articles since 2014, Mehvar’s publications cluster into three major themes: (1) mechanistic studies of CYP-mediated metabolism in liver and brain microsomes, (2) translational investigations of blood–brain barrier integrity in hepatic disease models, and (3) methodological innovations in UPLC–MS/MS quantitation and inhaled drug bioequivalence testing. Recent papers elucidate how bile duct ligation, ischemia–reperfusion, and anesthetic agents modulate barrier permeability and enzyme kinetics, while educational studies evaluate curricular reforms in pharmacokinetics instruction.
