Dr. Stefanie Hennig studied pharmacy at the University of Greifswald in Germany. In 2006 she earned her doctorate from the University of Queensland, Australia, with a thesis on dose optimization of antifungals in children. Since 2011 she has been at the University of Queensland doing research on ways of optimizing drug dosing through the use of pharmacometric methods, particularly antibiotics, tuberculosis, and cancer drugs in children and cancer patients. Together with researchers at the University of Queensland, Hennig has developed mathematical models for the personalized dosing of drugs that are now use in dosing software programs such as the open source software TDMx (www.tdmx.eu). The development of the TDMx software was started at Freie Universität.
