Top SchoolJoão Ximenez is an Assistant Professor and translational pharmacometrics researcher with 10 years of experience applying multi-scale PK/PD methods to optimize dosing for HIV, tuberculosis and neurocryptococcosis. Trained at Universidade de São Paulo (PhD) with visiting stints at UCL, Indiana University and UCSF, he blends clinical pharmacokinetics, population modeling and bioanalytical LC-MS/MS to move therapies from bench to bedside. His work spans pharmacogenetics, biomarker discovery and machine-learning–driven drug repurposing in oncology and infectious disease, reflecting a rare mix of wet‑lab, computational and clinical trial expertise. Based in São Paulo, he leads a multidisciplinary team focused on less invasive, more effective treatment and prevention strategies, and often leverages single‑cell and microbiome data to uncover nonobvious therapeutic insights.
