Isabel Meister

Isabel Meister has obtained her PhD in 2015 at the University of Basel and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute in Basel, Switzerland. Her thesis focused on the development of analytical methods for the detection and quantification of anthelmintic compounds in human and animal biofluids. Her aim was to provide pharmacokinetic data of both current drugs and novel therapeutic compounds in patients suffering from helmintic diseases. She followed her PhD with a first postdoc in the same lab investigating population pharmacokinetics in order to identify important factors driving treatment outcome. She is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Wheelock lab to use metabolomics to characterize general components of health and disease.
