Caroline Monchaud is a Hospital Practitioner and head of the Clinical Research Unit in Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Limoges, Faculty of Medicine. She works within the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Pharmacovigilance at the University Hospital (CHU) of Limoges, France. Her professional role spans clinical practice, research leadership, and academic teaching in the specialized field of transplantation medicine and pharmacology.
Dr. Monchaud's primary research interests focus on optimizing the care pathway for transplanted patients through therapeutic drug monitoring, individualized treatment approaches, adherence strategies, and quality of life improvement. Her work emphasizes patient empowerment and therapeutic education, particularly exploring relationships between immunosuppressant exposure and adverse effects, determinants of adherence, and the implementation of microsampling devices for at-home therapeutic drug monitoring to enhance patient care and transplant outcomes.
Her publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on transplantation pharmacology, with recent work spanning pharmacokinetic modeling in heart and kidney transplantation, cost-effectiveness analyses of antiviral prophylaxis, and innovative approaches to therapeutic drug monitoring. The research trend shows increasing sophistication in personalized medicine approaches for transplant recipients, with growing emphasis on computational modeling and patient-centered care strategies.
Dr. Monchaud contributes to medical education through teaching Patient Therapeutic Education in the 5th year of Pharmacy and Scale Development Methodology in the Research Master's program for Health and Activity Professionals. Her clinical leadership as head of the Clinical Research Unit positions her at the intersection of patient care, research innovation, and academic training in transplantation pharmacology.
Her work environment includes the Clinical Research Unit in Pharmacology and Toxicology located on the 2nd floor of the CBRS building at the hospital side (office 2B26), where she conducts her research on transplant patient care pathways and therapeutic monitoring approaches.
