Thomas Velenosi

Dr. Velenosi received his PhD in pharmacology and toxicology from Western University. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the Laboratory of Metabolism at the National Cancer Institute (National Institutes of Health), and is an assistant professor in the UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The Velenosi lab is focused at the intersection of pharmacology and metabolomics, using pharmacometabolomics to deepen our understanding of drug treatment response and toxicity during cancer therapy. His lab applies mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, lipidomics and stable-isotope metabolic flux analysis to identify and characterize biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Their approach seeks to determine the mechanisms of metabolic biomarker production and response to drug treatment using highly translational cancer models.
