For my Advanced PK and PD textbook, as of Nov 30, 2025, I have sold 216 copies at Amazon. My royalty is approximately $20 per copy. So, I earned about $4320 in total for this book. As promised, on Dec 1, 2025, I donated all my royalty earned from this book sale between May 6, 2025 (book release date) and Nov 30, 2025. Read more here...

Had a special and lovely dinner early this week with two giants in the PK/PD field – Dr. Peter Veng-Pedersen and Dr. Leslie Benet. It is inspiring to see Dr. Benet, at age of 88, is still actively engaging in research and teaching. I asked him what's the secret to keep him so energetic, and I was stunned - he runs 2-3 times a week, and about 2.2 miles every time!

Gerhard Levy was not only a pioneer of pharmacokinetics but also broadly regarded as “the Father of Pharmacodynamics”. In a 2006 article published at the Annals of Pharmacotherapy, he shared a personal perspective on the development of PD as a pharmaceutical science. In the end of the article, he provided the message below. Read more here...

I like history, I love stories, and as a pharmaceutical researcher, I have an innate and immense interest in medicines. I never imagined that one day I could link these pieces together and write a book series on the history of drug discovery, a topic full of fascinating stories. Read more here...

Recently, I released a hardcover version of my basic PK textbook. I ordered an author copy of the hardcover, and it arrived last week. It has much better paper quality than the paperback. I am happy that the material finally gets the best of care it deserves. Read more here..

When I approached Jusko for interview earlier this year, I told him that the advanced PK/PD book that I plan to write will be a course note style, and I anticipated that the readership of this book would be low. My guess was wrong. Click to read more...

PharmD class of 2027 runs a monthly newsletter which circulates among their class members. This is creative and a great way to stay united. One component of this newsletter is faculty interviews. Last spring (in Feb 2024), they interviewed me and included the content in their March newsletter. I like those fun and lighthearted questions and would like to share some of them in this post.

I strongly believe that when people learn it in the right way, everyone can be good at pharmacokinetics. I have been teaching a PharmD course “Pharmacokinetics and Dose Optimization” every spring semester since 2016. After I taught this course several rounds, I developed a strong desire to write a single author pharmacokinetics (PK) textbook. I started to write this book in late January 2024. Many late nights. Many weekends. This book was brought to life in May 2024. Read more here...
