Dr. Jérôme Del Castillo

Biography

Jérôme Del Castillo is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Université de Montréal. His research focuses on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in veterinary contexts, especially concerning antibiotics used in pig populations. His work includes mathematical modeling to characterize variability in biological outcomes related to antibiotic therapies and the environmental and genetic determinants influencing oral absorption of antibiotics. He also investigates the efficiency of drug release from medicated feeds in monogastric animals, the persistence of antibiotic residues in milk from treated cows, and the impact of various administration routes on the development of bacterial resistance. Del Castillo has contributed to the development of clinical guidelines for antibiotic therapy in swine and has supervised various graduate theses exploring veterinary pharmacology and clinical methods for diagnosing conditions in pets. As a experienced researcher, he has collaborated on numerous research projects and has led significant studies funded by various Canadian grant programs, contributing valuable insight into veterinary sciences and biostatistics.
