Steven “Steev” Sutton, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Science, attended the United States Pharmacopeial (USP) Workshop on In-vitro Testing for Meeting Future Challenges for Veterinary Dosage Forms. This workshop was held at the USP Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland on March 14-15, 2016.

Sutton gave an invited talk on “Challenges when Working with Different Animal Species,” which was a review of published data from his work at Pfizer, Inc. and consultations with generic veterinary companies. His lecture also examined the physiological reasons for not being able to prove bioequivalence between an innovator and generic formulations.  

Sutton has published several articles on the biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics of veterinary bioequivalence. He is a world-renowned expert on the differences in the gastro-intestinal tract physiology of companion animals.
