Biography

Maria Karlgren is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacy at Uppsala University. Her research focuses on developing advanced in vitro models to study and predict ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) processes. She emphasizes permeability and active transport metabolism, designing physiologically relevant 2D and 3D models to replicate in vivo conditions and reduce reliance on animal-derived products. These models are utilized to predict interactions between drugs, excipients, formulations, and human tissues and cells, thereby improving the understanding and optimization of drug delivery strategies.
