Professional Interests

Dr. Hu’s current research interests focus on the role of solute carriers, in particularly OATP1Bs, in the disposition and toxicity of commonly prescribed drugs. Her lab integrates in vitro and in vivo model systems, aims to design preclinical and clinical studies to explore pharmaceutical agents as modulators of side effects associated with tubulin poisons, in particular peripheral neuropathy and myelotoxicity.
