Research Interests Interests:  Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies in veterinary medicine.  Development of novel dosage forms and vaccinations for ease of administration for animals and humans. Description:  Development of Novel dosage forms, particularly transdermal and sustained release products. This includes development of novel dosage forms to assist veterinarians and caregivers of animals in ease of administration Dr.  Duran’s area of research includes pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics, analgesics, NSAIDS and antiviral therapy.  Her doctoral work concentrated on gastrointestinal ulcer therapy in horses, cats, dogs and sheep with histamine type II antagonists.   .  She particularly enjoys teaching young veterinary and pharmacy student’s development and design of drug studies with emphasis on changes in drug distribution of animals during disease state.  Her goal is to teach continuous development of better therapy for animals and humans. Other areas of interest include prevention of spread of infectious disease in hospital settings. Selected Publications Nagilla, R, Deshmukh, D, Duran, SH, Miller, S, King, H, Ravis, WR.
