Professional Summary:

Dr. Meaney is a clinical pharmacist-scientist in the field of nephrology. His clinical practice is at the Erie County Medical Center, where he provides clinical care to patients as a member of an interprofessional Internal Medicine team. Through this role, he precepts pharmacy students and residents in clinical pharmacy.

Dr. Meaney‘s research is focused on the optimization of drug therapy through the application of quantitative clinical pharmacology. He leads a multidisciplinary group of researchers to address novel personalization of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in hemodialysis patients. Other work has focused on drug-induced nephrotoxicity and the optimal use of antibacterials in hemodialysis.

In the classroom, Dr. Meaney strives to excite and engage students through real-world application of pharmacotherapy using active learning techniques. He finds the personal interaction with students through advising and mentoring to be the most rewarding part of being a faculty member.
