Research Interests

  • Integrating his dual interests in scholarship and patient care, Dr. Lodise’s overall research goal is to quantitatively enhance our current understanding of antimicrobial exposure-response relationships in patients with invasive bacterial infections. His research encompasses three interrelated domains: pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD), epidemiology, and outcomes.
  • His specific research objectives are 4-fold: develop “personalized” patient care strategies that improve outcomes; reduce the likelihood of drug-induced toxicities; minimize the emergence of antibiotic resistant infections; and reduce healthcare costs. In short, his research works to define the “right antibiotic at the right dose for the right patient.”
  • Research cannot improve patient care unless the knowledge is transferable. To this end, he employs cutting-edge mathematical modeling techniques to identify patient- and treatment-related factors that promote optimal patient-centered outcomes.  Advanced pharmacoepidemiologic and comparative effectiveness methodologies are also leveraged to determine optimal empiric and targeted treatment strategies for patients with antibiotic resistant infections. In addition, he uses state-of-the-art PK/PD methods to design antibiotic dosing schemes that optimize efficacy and minimize drug toxicity for implementation into clinical practice. He is particularly interested in identifying optimal dosing schemes for patient populations that are typically underrepresented in Phase III clinical.  
  • To date, he has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles in reputable scientific journals, including Clinical Infectious Diseases, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Lancet Infectious Diseases, Chest, and Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. He has also secured over $1.5 million in grant funding from various sources.

Quantitative evaluation of antibiotic exposure-response relationships among hospital patients with serious bacterial infections.

My work has focused on quantitatively enhancing our current understanding of antimicrobial exposure-response relationships among hospitalized patients with invasive bacterial infections. The goal of these studies is to identify the antibiotic exposure profile associated with maximal outcomes/minimal toxicity among patients with infections.

Dose optimization of antibiotics in critically ill patients with invasive infections.

There have been tremendous strides in our understanding of antibiotic exposure-response relationships over the past 25 years. For many antibiotics, the “pharmacodynamic” or the exposure variable associated with outcomes has been identified. I have applied our understanding of antimicrobial pharmacodynamics (PD) into clinical practice by designing empirical antibiotics regimens across specialized patient populations that have a high probability of achieving the PD target linked to effect through the use of population pharmacokinetic modeling and Monte Carlo simulation.

Epidemiology and outcomes of hospitalized patients with infections due to antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The prevalence of infections due to antibiotic resistant pathogens have increased dramatically over the last two decades and are a major public health threat among hospitalized patients throughout the world. Given the importance of early, appropriate therapy, my research focuses on the identification of patients at greatest risk for antibiotic infections. I also characterize the outcomes of patients with infections due to antibiotic resistant organisms.

Pharmacoepidemiologic and comparative effectiveness studies to determine optimal treatment strategies for patients with antibiotic resistant infections.

Currently, there are few completed clinical trials that define the optimal treatment strategies of patients with infections due to antibiotic resistant infections. There is high reliance on “real-world” pharmacoepidemiologic and comparative effectiveness studies to determine optimal management and treatment of infections due to antibiotic resistant pathogens. Through the use of state of art study design and statistical modeling techniques, my research uses real-world data to identify optimal treatment strategies that maximize the outcomes of patients with antibiotic resistant infections.
