Research

Professor Kays' research and practice focuses in the area of infectious diseases pharmacotherapeutics. Specifically, he is interested in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibacterial agents, appropriate dosing of antimicrobial agents, evaluation of investigational antimicrobials through in vitro analyses, development of bacterial resistance, and drug-drug/drug-food interactions involving antimicrobial agents. One of his primary teaching goals is to teach future and present clinicians how to select antimicrobial therapy using pharmacodynamic principles, integrating knowledge of pharmacokinetics and in vitro activity.

Professor Kays has published peer-reviewed articles in the scientific literature and has presented abstracts at national and international medical conferences. He received two "Professor of the Year" awards for teaching excellence during his faculty appointment at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Professor Kays is a member of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists, the American Society for Microbiology, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. He currently serves as a referee for Pharmacotherapy and The Annals of Pharmacotherapy. Professor Kays became a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist in 1992.
