My name is Shu-Hao Hsu (Josh Hsu), and I am a dedicated pharmaceutical scientist specializing in pharmacokinetics. I hold a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the National Defense Medical Center (NDMC) in Taipei, Taiwan, and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics at the College of Pharmacy, University of Florida. As a university special research student at NDMC under Dr. Hong-Jaan Wang, I contributed to innovative projects, particularly in in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) for hepatic clearance prediction. I proposed a novel model, modified well-stirred, combining the well-stirred approaches to improve prediction accuracy. My work included animal experiments, laboratory procedure management, and operation of advanced instruments such as LC-MS/MS and HPLC. These studies have been published in journals including the Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy and European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. My dedication has been recognized with several awards and fellowships, including the College Student Research Scholarship from the National Science Committee, Taiwan, the Taiwan Astellas Scholarship, and an outstanding oral presentation award at the 2020 Taiwan Joint Conference of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In addition, I have strengthened my professional skills through internships at TTY Biopharm Co., LTD and the Clinical Pharmacy Department of Tri-Service General Hospital.
