Pr Joseph Ciccolini, Pharm.D. Ph.D., is Full Professor of Pharmacokinetics at Aix Marseille University and Clinical Pharmacologist at La Timone University Hospital of Marseille, France. Pr Ciccolini is Group Leader at the SMARTc platform in Pharmacokinetics and Group Leader at the COMPO research unit (Cancer Research Center of Marseille, Inserm U1068). Pr Ciccolini chairs the Digipharm Master program dedicated to Digital Tools in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Aix Marseille University, Marseille France. Pr Ciccolini's expertise in clinics is mostly based on controlling the pharmacokinetics variability of anticancer agents, ranging from canonical cytotoxics or oral targeted therapies to the most-advanced biotherapies such as immune-oncology drugs. Pr Ciccolini has contributed to develop adaptive dosing strategies such as pharmacogenetic-based dosing algorithms, to secure the administration of several nucleoside analogs. Pr Ciccolini's current work focus on developing therapeutic drug monitoring associated to adaptive dosing strategies with biologics, including immune check-point inhibitors. Pr Ciccolini has P.I.'ed or co-P.I.'ed several clinical trials investigating on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of a variety of anticancer drugs, has co-authored more than 150 international papers in both experimental and clinical pharmacokinetics and owns several patents in the field. Joseph Ciccolini is the current Secretary of the PAMM-EORTC European group dedicated to promoting pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacometrics in oncology. In another life, Pr Ciccolini is as well bee-keeper and honey-maker in Corsica, France.
