Dr. Verotta's main research interests are in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) and mathematical/statistical (M/S) modeling. In PK/PD the main areas of interest are: mechanistic modeling (where prior knowledge about parts of a PK/PD system is embedded in the model describing it); the development of empirical models (where no prior knowledge is embedded in the model) to analyze, simulate and control; population PK/PD modeling with particular regard to empirical methods for population data analysis. In M/S modeling main interests are in linear and non-linear system analysis; control; experimental design.

Dr. Verotta is involved in collaborative research with scientists and different investigators in PK/PD and clinical therapy (notably HIV therapy) modeling. Future areas of investigation are the use of Bayesian methods, in particular applied to pharmacogenomics and mechanistic modeling.
