Our college originally scheduled to invite the internationally renowned scholar in the fields of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics, Prof. Leslie Z. Benet, to deliver a special lecture at our university. He has taught at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for many years. His research areas cover pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics, drug delivery, and pharmacodynamics, exerting a profound global influence in the field of pharmacokinetics research.
Prof. Benet is one of the world's most highly cited scholars in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. His academic achievements include over 620 academic papers, 7 monographs, and 12 patents. According to statistics, his research has accumulated over 50,000 citations, making an indelible contribution to the theoretical development of drug metabolism, drug transport, and pharmacokinetics.
Prof. Benet has visited our university multiple times. This was expected to be his fifth visit to our School of Pharmacy, coinciding with the historic milestone of our university's upgrade and the formal establishment of the "College of Pharmacy, National Defense Medical University" through the integration of the Graduate Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Graduate Institute of Pharmacology. This lecture was originally planned to share the latest research findings in pharmacokinetics and the Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System (BDDCS), serving as an important milestone in our college's continuous deepening of international academic exchange.
