Research Assistant Professor
About Janny Pineiro
Janny Pineiro-Llanes, Ph.D., is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutics at the University of Florida’s Center for Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology. She received a B.S. in Material Science and Engineering and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Florida. Her doctoral research focused on the role of extracellular matrix composition in mitochondrial function and myogenesis.
Dr. Pineiro is involved in several projects, combining her expertise in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and advanced microphysiological systems to support drug development and precision medicine. Specializing in 3D tissue engineering using bioprinting and developing organotypic models for ADME studies, her work focuses on creating physiologically relevant in vitro systems to improve in vitro-in-vivo extrapolation (IVIVE). By integrating organ-on-a-chip technologies with bioengineered tissues, she replicates human physiology to enhance predictions of drug absorption and metabolism.
Dr. Pineiro actively engages in several professional societies, including the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) and the Microphysiological Systems Society (MPS). She collaborates with researchers across institutions, regulatory bodies, and industry partners to drive cross-college and cross-university initiatives. Passionate about mentoring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and pharmacists, Dr. Pineiro guides emerging researchers and contributes as a reviewer for journals like Bioengineering and Translational Medicine, as well as serving on panels for the UF Journal of Undergraduate Research and the Florida Junior Science, Engineering, and Humanities Symposium.
