Lindsay Czuba

Professor Lindsay Czuba is focused on real-world applications of pharmaceutical sciences, particularly in understanding the complex interactions within the human body that affect drug metabolism and transport. As an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her role, having dedicated her career to exploring the intricacies of bile acid signaling and its impact on the gut-liver axis. Professor Czuba's academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Syracuse University, followed by a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Her doctoral research laid the foundation for her current interests, which include the study of bile acid signaling and its role in obesity and related health issues. Her work is particularly focused on how these processes influence drug metabolism and the body's response to various pharmaceutical interventions. Following her Ph.D., Professor Czuba further honed her expertise during a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington. There, she delved into the effects of obesity and pregnancy on vitamin A metabolism and drug metabolism, contributing valuable insights to the field. Her research has significant implications for understanding how metabolic changes in these conditions can alter drug efficacy and safety. At the University of Kentucky, Professor Czuba continues to advance her research, aiming to uncover new therapeutic targets and strategies for managing obesity and its comorbidities. Her work not only enhances the scientific community's understanding of these complex biological processes but also holds promise for improving patient outcomes through more personalized and effective treatments.
