About

Elias Rosen is an Associate Professor in the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. He joined the UNC CFAR in 2014 to lead the CPAC Core’s research program designed to translate the fundamental performance of a novel mass spectrometry imaging platform, IR-MALDESI, for clinical applications. His research focuses on the development of methods to measure the intracellular distribution of therapeutics and their metabolites in a variety of biological matrices using IR-MALDESI. He is currently quantifying the penetration of drugs relevant to HIV treatment and eradication into putative viral reservoirs and combining this approach with traditional imaging modalities to evaluate efficacy of experimental treatment regimens.
