Assistant Professor
University of Florida
Dr. Cristofoletti is an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida (UF), Department of Pharmaceutics and the Associate Director of the Center for Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology at the UF. Before joining the Gator Nation, he served as a regulator in the Biopharmaceutics & Clinical Pharmacology Office of the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) for 15 years. He received his B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2004. Dr. Cristofoletti received his Ph.D. summa cum laude from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany in 2017. Dr. Cristofoletti’s lab focuses on translational DMPK-Tox and Microphysiological Systems to support the development of humanized in vitro models to replace/reduce the use of animals in research. His research interests are integrating in vitro and in silico models (like physiologically-based models and quantitative systems pharmacology models) to support translational research at early stages of drug development. Dr. Cristofoletti’s lab is also interested in developing organotypic models and microphysiological systems to model ADME-Tox in special populations not well represented in clinical trials for new wide-use drugs (e.g., Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome patients and others).
