At 91成人导航 Since: 2015

Melanie A. Felmlee, PhD joined 91成人导航 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Medicinal Chemistry in 2015. Originally from Canada, Dr. Felmlee earned her bachelor of science in biomedical toxicology from University of Guelph and her master of science in pharmacy from University of Saskatchewan. She earned her doctor of philosophy in pharmaceutical sciences from University at Buffalo, SUNY where she also completed a postdoctoral fellowship. Prior to joining the 91成人导航 faculty she was a Research Assistant Professor at University of Buffalo.

Dr. Felmlee is the author of over 30 peer-reviewed publications and abstracts. She is a member of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.

The interactions she has with students and other faculty are her favorite aspects of teaching at 91成人导航. Her goal as a professor is to help the students gain an understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics, and their clinical application.

She and her husband, Brian, have three children. Dr. Felmlee enjoys spending time both outdoors and indoors. Prior to coming to 91成人导航, she and her family lived in New York for 10 years where they had an acre of land which she used to garden, a hobby that she loves.
