Lais Da Silva, PhD, MS

Dr. Lais Da Silva received her B.S. in Chemistry (2011) from Uni-Goias, Brazil, her M.S. in Health Sciences from Federal University of Goias School of Medicine, Brazil, and her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from University of Florida College of Pharmacy. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Florida Center of Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology under the mentorship of Dr. Rodrigo Cristofoletti. Dr. Da Silva is currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Her research interests include integrating in vitro biorelevant systems information with modeling & simulation for translational and clinical pharmacology. Her research currently focuses on development and application of PBPK and PK/PD modeling & simulation to inform Drug Discovery and Development in oncology, clinical decision-making in women’s health and family planning, as well as dose optimization in underrepresented populations.
