Dr. LaHoma Easterwood is a study director for CellzDirect's drug metabolism projects, including in vitro CYP450 inhibition and induction, metabolite stability and profiling, and enzyme identification studies. Dr. Easterwood received her doctorate in chemistry from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and completed her postdoctoral training in the Department of Pharmacology/Toxicology at the University of Utah. Her post-doctoral research under the leadership of Dr. Garold Yost focused on investigating the role of CYP450-dependent dehydrogenation in mechanism-based enzyme inhibition, through which she gained expertise in CYP450 enzyme kinetics and CYP450 inhibition (direct and time-dependent). In addition, her research focused on the identification of metabolites generated by CYP450-mediated catalysis of small molecules. |
