Sorell Schwartz is Professor Emeritus of Pharmacology. His areas of concentration include quantitative systems pharnacology and pharmacometrics; adverse drug reactions, human subject and clinical trial ethics, and causal assessment methods for drug and chemical injury. Research approaches are primarily through computer simulation of biological processes to aid understanding of those processes. His has focused on physiologically-based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling and its application to such areas as exposure assessment, target-tissue concentration estimation for risk assessment, and the design of dosing regimens for experimental drugs. His most recent work concerns bio-mathematical approaches to understanding and modeling nonlinear dynamical behavior in cancer immunotherapy and other systems. He serves as a primary resource for clinical trial pharmacokinetics. He has extensive experience in the assessment of adverse drug reactions in the clinical, regulatory and forensic settings, and continues to have responsibilities for such assessments at Georgetown.
