Dr. Thomas Velenosi is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia. He received his PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology from Western University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Laboratory of Metabolism at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health. His research focuses on the intersection of pharmacology and metabolomics, specifically employing pharmacometabolomics to enhance the understanding of drug treatment responses and toxicities in cancer therapy. Dr. Velenosi's lab utilizes mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and lipidomics, along with stable-isotope metabolic flux analysis, to identify and characterize biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Their approach aims to uncover the mechanisms behind metabolic biomarker production in response to drug treatments, employing highly translational cancer models. The Velenosi lab's ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between biomarker identification and clinical validity, facilitating personalized therapy to improve outcomes for cancer patients.
