In this episode, we are joined by Nikhil Samuel, Antimicrobial Stewardship Pharmacist and PhD Candidate at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, and Associate Professor Cornelia Landersdorfer, expert in Antimicrobial Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics and Dosage Optimisation at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
This episode explores the complexity of infectious diseases pharmacy, highlighting the three-way interaction between drug, patient, and pathogen. Experts discuss how pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) guide optimal dosing, especially in critically ill and immunocompromised patients. They share real-world examples of pharmacist-led interventions and the growing role of precision dosing and antimicrobial stewardship. The episode encourages students to pursue research opportunities and collaborate across disciplines to combat antimicrobial resistance.
