Nancy Sambol

Nancy Sambol is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Her work focuses on population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling to improve drug therapy, with expertise in information-driven trial design, extravascular drug modeling, and pediatrics/anesthesiology applications.

• BSc, Pharmacy, University of Illinois at Chicago (1987)
• PharmD, Pharmacy, University of Texas at Austin (1983)
• BSc, Pharmacy, Purdue University (1978)

Her research spans antimalarial pharmacology, contraceptive drug interactions, metformin metabolism, and pediatric drug modeling. Key publications cover physiologically-based simulations for HIV-drug interactions, piperaquine dynamics in malaria, and bioequivalence studies for extended-release formulations.

Current work integrates nonlinear mixed-effects models with clinical pharmacokinetic data to optimize dosing regimens across diverse populations, including bariatric patients and children.
