Research Interests
Dr. Veng-Pedersen's main research interests include the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of erythropoietin in pre-mature, very low birth weight babies, the PK/PD of  the insulin-glucose system in diabetic and pre-diabetic subjects, and the kinetic assessment and optimization of drug delivery.
